Hi Eodun

I have a stable Froyo on my Blackstone :)

But I can't get my camera to work :(

I have read all instructions found in XDA in order to make it work ... but luck yet!

Have also tried to build it from scrath using newest kernels, libs etc.... but screen freeze after about 1 minute :confused:

Do you have a basic Froyo SD image for Blackstone where camera is working?

And could you share it with me :rolleyes:

Mitta
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
It works perfectly for me updating my froyo following the instructions in this

post. If you have any problem, answer here or pm me
[Touch HD Android Development] Mittaa:
Hi Eodun

Your link points to a lot of threads ... can you be a litle more explicit :-)

I have tried to combine XDAndroid 2.2.1 AOSP FRX04 and viruscrazy's test kernel for camera fix ....

Mittaa
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Sorry, I meant viruscrazy's post for camera test. You have to change this:

Just replace your zimage and put modules in your andboot folder, put the lib package in any dir (for example, root of sdcard) and edit paths to libs in froyo.user.conf. Yo can delete or comment libgles and gralloc libs.
[Touch HD Android Development] Mittaa:
Yes yes yes ... now its working as a charm ...

Don't know what went wrong in the first place :-)

Thanks a lot
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Camcorder and all? Glad to help.
[Touch HD Android Development] Mittaa:
No camcorder and craches when trying to access camera settings ...

Have send a PM to you :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
it had dust under the screen? As I was cleaning my screen today, I noticed two minuscule particles of dust under the screen. They are very close to the right and left edges of the screen, so Im assuming they somehow got through the small gap on those sides of the screen (if you look at the G2 on a flat plane, you notice a small gap between the screen and the side of the phone. The side is slightly more elevated than the screen at the center of the phone.). Im just worried about more dust getting under there, so should I exchange it under warranty. Other than that the phone has been flawless except for the typical "loose" hinge.

BTW the gap Im taking about is not a horizontal gap. Its a vertical gap, like the screen doesnt sit flush with the casing. Its noticeable on both sides, more towards the center of the device. If someone could verify with their phone it would be helpful.
[G2 and Desire Z General] userfriendlyme:
Probably wouldn't bother me. I haven't had the issue of anything getting under my screen and I've had the phone since it was released. You can always have tmobile send you a replacement however there probably only going to send you a refurb G2. Some times it just pays to leave well enough alone but when its something that annoys you I can certianly understand.

Sent from my CM7 powered G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I've accumulated quite a few dust particles under my screen. They're mostly collected in the bottom left corner but more are picking up on the right. Apparently this is a well known issue because of the gap between the screen and the housing.

I'm gonna line up a replacement for mine because its starting to get on my nerves. One of those things that once you know its there, all you do is look at it lol.

If I were you and its only two or so specs of dust, I wouldn't really wanna go through the hassle of an exchange until it got worse.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Decided Im not gonna exchange it over 2 small pieces of dust (the size of a thin pencil tip). Especially considering everything else is working fine and I will possibly get a refurb replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cklemm:
I just went through a replacement nightmare all because of having dust under the screen.. Within the first couple weeks of me getting the phone, I started noticing a bunch of dust particles accumulating in the lower left corner of the screen. After a month, there was a noticeable line of dust, in a 1 inch x 1 inch square at the far bottom left. After the 2nd month, it was starting to be noticeable while the screen was on too, and was starting to make it tough to read that lower corner.

I went to a T-Mobile store, just to make sure that it would be covered under warranty. They said absolutely, and offered to swap it out in the store - I had a ton of data and text messages not backed up, so I said I'd be back once I backed everything up.

Well, I should have gone to the store again, instead I called customer service and processed it over the phone. They mailed me a replacement phone ASAP, actually got it the next day. I packed up the old phone, sent it back, and thought everything was done. 2 weeks later, I got a letter saying that it's not under warranty, that the phone had physical damage, and they had charged my account $295 for the new phone.. After a very frustrating hour on the phone with customer service, and going through the following: They wouldn't send me the old phone back, wouldn't let me talk to anyone who had access to look at the phone, wouldn't/couldn't even give me a description of what physical damage there was - they finally agreed to credit me back the $295.

Sorry for the long post, just getting all the info in there.

Short version - If you have a warranty issue, bring it to a store!
[G2 and Desire Z General] FinalJenemba:
I had this problem with my first phone, Lots of dust under the bottom left corner. I called tmobile and they swapped it out with another phone no question. Its been over a month and I havent seen got anything saying the phone was not covered by the warranty. This phone seems much better than the first one so im being more careful with where I put it and how I handle it to minimize the chances of dust invading it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Gap between the screen and the housing... Huh? Its sealed tight. No gap, no dust. Yours has obviously been bashed up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
I could tell you for a fact this phone is not bashed up, its been babied since I got it (couple days before Christmas). As soon as I got it a Otterbox case was placed on it. Phone sits in my jacket pocket. So how it would get bashed up is beyond me.

BTW the gap Im taking about is not a horizontal gap. Its a vertical gap, like the screen doesnt sit flush with the casing. Its noticeable on both sides, more towards the center of the device. If someone could verify with their phone it would be helpful.

[General Questions and Answers] Tranqaura:
Hi, I have a Huawei Ascend running Android 2.1 as far as I know (eclair i think?) and I was making a note in notepad with some important info, but I hit delete by accident instead of save and it had important information on it. Does anyone know how I can recover the note?

Help would be much appreciated, thanks
[General Questions and Answers] bjames23:
Did the same thing awhile ago.... its gone man
[General Questions and Answers] Tranqaura:
See, I would do that, or even run some Recovery program on my phone's memory, but when I plug in my phone to my computer (there's no microsd card inside I'm just using internal memory) all I can view are the phone drivers and the manual. Not sure how to actually access any other data. Ugh I'm in such a tight jam right now ;_;
[Defy Themes and Apps] psixda:
Today I added new Google account to my defy, but when asking what to sync there's no option for calendar (only mail and contacts). Is it a bug or what?
[Defy Themes and Apps] rumcajsz:
Unfortunatly, only the first account synchronize to Calendar. Others don't.
[Defy Themes and Apps] psixda:
Really? This is disappointing :-\.
[Defy Themes and Apps] efpob:
If it's not a privacy issue, you could always share the calendar to the other Google account. If the calendars are visible from your calendar.google.com page, they'll appear on your Defy
[Defy Themes and Apps] psixda:
Thanks efpob, I followed your suggestion and it's working pretty well.

glad it worked for you. I'm doing it this way as well. You can even add events to the shared calendar.

I am looking for a Gingerbread 'looking' rom for my LG Optimus S running 2.2.1. I would create one myself but as it happens I am unable to attain my original firmware through any of the posted methods. Does anyone know of a rom that would satisfy my desire? Thanks, :)

Have you tried to cook your own theme on circle.glx.nl ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nfd77:
I'm a developer for the Optimus S over at Android Central. Go to the ROMs and hacks section for the LG Optimus S and look for my theme thread. If I could post a link I would but XDA wants me to post more before it allows me to post links..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
Not dev thread.

Moving to general
[Optimus One, P500, V General] prezmater:
Thanks for moving it...it was a dev request...not a general question oh-smart-one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] scifan:
Remember that they don't consider a Optimus S a different phone either...
[Android Software Development] wrb123:
Hi,

I'm setting up Eclipse on my desktop and laptop to teach myself Android programming. I was wondering if I could sync my \workspace folder using Dropbox so I could resume working on an app I started on my desktop from my laptop. I assume there could be more to sync than the workspace folder, or maybe this just won't work at all. Does anyone here do anything similar to this? Does it matter that I have 64-bit environment on my desktop and 32-bit on my laptop (both windows)?

Thanks

My cousin installed WP7 on his HD2 had it working fine for 4 days. Then 1 day after I changed the identity of the Phone so he could download apps from the market the touchscreen stopped functioning. It works after a hard reset but as soon as it goes to sleep it stops working has anyone else had this issue if so were u able to fix it.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Please do not post device specific questions here, post in the appropriate forum of your device.

[HD2 General] mayurolla:
Also please search the forums. Dead touchscreen posts are made about 5 times a day. You have the exact symptoms as everyone else. Revert it and send it in for repair. Please answer the poll in my sig below, I am trying to collect data to figure out which phones keep breaking.
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
In a good way ;)

This is the most game-changing piece of equipment I have had since I built my first PC from mail-order parts in the early 80s. I sincerely believe the G-Tab is the best-kept tech secret going today, especially with the efforts of all the nice folks here at xdadevelopers.

Some background: I am a VP for a tech service company and run some pretty powerful iron for the company so I have high standards for performance. I just don't have time to sit and watch hourglasses and "loading" pages all day.

When I decided I wanted to take the plunge into "tablife," I spent plenty of time reading reviews and forum posts and then found this website. After lurking for a week or so, all I read told me this was the tab for me. So I got one.

The rest is history. After doing all recommended stock updates and deciding "yeah, this really is a potential jewel," I went ahead and got root and then flashed the enhancement pack. I had no external SD card until last night, so I will be doing the REAL flashing this weekend some time. I have to say though, the enhancement pack and addition of (a working) marketplace makes all the difference in the world. I may even run it this way for a while.

But now my days are filled with searching for the elusive "perfect app" to replace the Windows one I use on my regular PCs and laptops. Thank god for this place and all the resources of the web - I think I will be able to do everything I need to with this.

Of course, now I have to have a keyboard/case and docking station and any other possible peripheral I can jam onto it! :D
[G Tablet General] abstrusius:
I empathize with you totally! Since I got a Gtab, my poor ipad has seen very little use...
[G Tablet General] snipestech:
Rarley use a pc anymore....
[G Tablet General] gtablet4us:
I use my gtab for daily web browsing but I still feel it is lacking something for my daily use. For example, entering comment to the xda forum is too slow using my gtab, as I still use my laptop for blog, etc. Otherwise, I think that I put my laptop to rest.. forever. ;)
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Since you're in mgmt in a tech Co., and now that you've experienced the Gtab, it'd be interesting to try to leverage tech like this in the 'real world's!

[G Tablet General] cbmoore9:
Yeah it will probably ruin my marriage.
[G Tablet General] Mikeg1969:
LOL.....I had to get one for the wife too so it wouldn't ruin mine!!:D
[G Tablet General] astevens54:
Do what I did, buy one for wife too. Lol!
[G Tablet General] billygtab:
Oh boy...

[G Tablet General] snarful:
I'm new to Android, new to rooting and new to modding. I've had my GTab for about two weeks now, and during that time I've read just about every page in the GTab development forum on xda, on Android Forums, on Droidpirates and any other GTab site I could Google (I'm 73, retired, and have lots & lots of free time).

Thanks to the dedicated devs and other helpful members of these sites, and following their instructions and advice, I've gone from knowing absolutely nothing about Android to developing the confidence to successfully flash the TnT enhancement pack, TnTLite 4.1, and currently VEGAn 5.1. This within a period of two weeks; all ran fine with no issues at all--except the well-documented ones that are constantly being tackled and solved.

In these posts, I've watched the evolution of this machine from its perception as a near useless piece of crap at its introduction to its present state as the best tablet on the market today, bar none; one that will go head to head with the best to come this year.

It's really exciting to see these talented devs get down into the heart of this tablet and coax it into becoming all that it's capable of being; it's almost like being present at childbirth. The most exciting part is that we all get to participate in this birth. And now, the pace of development is picking up even more, and our devs are branching out into new territory; I can hardly wait to see what magic they'll perform next!
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
Well said!
[G Tablet General] tab_newbie:
My son is in first grade and just learning to write... when learnlng the B he had to write some lines with arbitrary words... the whole last line was:

Does that mean his life's ruined now as well? At age of 6...

At work I manage service tickets, and download drivers.

At home I surf the web, check sports scores, and manage rpg characters :D
[G Tablet General] rapcon:
Yep, the Gtablet is the first thing I see in the morning before getting of bed, read the news. Wife is jealous, but she does not know that I have one for her also. :D

By the way, if anyone is interested, for your hd video, I get silky smooth playbay of video out of the Sanyo HD2000a camcorder by converting it to the mkv container@8000-9000 bitrate, 1920/1080, mp3 audio. All my camera recordings are at 1920x1080 60fps.
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
I feel your pain (in the wallet), see my sig below. At first it was cute hearing "are the birds angry", "can I have the tablet to play Angry Birds", etc. But I realized I was getting less and less time with it. It replaced my iPod Touch and a Netbook, both sitting lonely now.

[General Questions and Answers] twitch351:
Go to your settings and find apps, find your launcher, and click "clear defaults", then click home. Once you do it'll give you the option between adw, and your normal launcher, click the launcher of your choice.
[General Questions and Answers] lildrifter22:
How do I find that I'm really new to this.
[General Questions and Answers] twitch351:
You go to your settings, search for where it says app and click it. It will show a list of all of your downloaded, running, all, and apps on SD card. Click on all and search for your default launcher, it should just say default depending on your phone. Click on it and scroll down to wear it says launch by default....then click clear defaults, when you press your home button again then it will give you an option between ADW and your default. Click whichever one you want to use.

[Galaxy 3 General] dworokk:
Well, I tried a lot of key combinations to enter the safe mode, but nothing worked for me. Is there a special variation for the Galaxy 3 or is it the same as for other devices?

Most of the instructions sounded like: "Press the menu button while booting" or something similar. But my phone starts in normal mode when I do this.

Is there anybody who knows exactly what to do to access the safe mode with "our device" - I mean the Galaxy 3?
[Galaxy 3 General] i_rnb:
if u mean recovery mode then it's "vol down+vol up+home key+power button"..

when u see "samsung i5800 or i5801" whatever on screen u can leave them..!!
[Galaxy 3 General] dworokk:
The recovery mode is no problem. It can easily be activated. But I didn't mean this. The safe mode is something different. It starts the system with only default applications, e.g. the default launcher.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
you could try menu + home + power like SGS or if you are rooted after "su" try "reboot safe" or "reboot safe mode" if you are able to get to the terminal
[Galaxy 3 General] dworokk:
I don't have root access. So I can't user your second advice.

And the SGS combination doesn't work for me.

But thanks anyway!
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
the root method doesnt work, tried it
[G1 General] Crembo:
Hey guys, I jsu bought a used G1, since I needed a phone because I've started developing apps for android. Anyhow, since I don't have much money I had to buy a used one.

So this one has a (quite big) problem - when the screen is on the keyboard (normal position) the screen turns off. You can see the backlight, but nothing else. When the screen is slid out, it works perfectly fine.

Any idea what the problem may be?
[G1 General] siddharthsai:
It can be a problem with the ROM also can be a hardware problem.. Try another ROM first and report back.
[G1 General] Crembo:
I tried more than 3 roms, still does the same.

I also filmed how it turns itself off:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5608529/vidya/g1.avi
[G1 General] t140568:
Forgive me for stating the obvious, but have you tried wiping?
[G1 General] Crembo:
Yup, more than once.
[G1 General] t140568:
At this point, if it was my phone, I'd consider breaking out a screwdriver set and try to see if something came loose or is worn.
[G1 General] Crembo:
Well now it's not working at all.

Not even when the screen is slid out.

And I don't have the required screws to open it... Guess I'll have to buy them somewhere :/

EDIT:

This is weird.. I somehow managed to turn it on, but now it's stuck on a black screen with "Build: " at the bottom of it...

EDIT2:

And now when I rebooted it, only the backlight turns on...

EDIT3:

When I turn it on regularly, the T-Mobile G1 screen appears and then disappears. You can still see the backlight, but nothing else happens.

When I turn it on to recovery mode, the G1 screen appears, then disppaears and then you can see a black screen with "Build: " at the bottom.

EDIT4:

Apparently, when I start it regularly, it does boot into Android, but it's like stuck.. Seems like it's kinda bricked? No idea.

EDIT5:

Is it possible to reinstall the ROM without having access to the recovery menu?
[G1 General] t140568:
Getting a set of screwdrivers/torx/etc is a good idea. I picked mine up on eBay awhile back. An investment every techy guy should make.

It also sounds like you may want to get acquainted with adb and particularly fastboot. You *should* be able to use fastboot to get a working recovery and then use the recovery to get a rom loaded. This: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719 seems like a decent guide to get you going with what you need if it is in fact a software issue.

Since your experience keeps deteriorating, I'm beginning to wonder if a chip inside is going bad - especially with the odd things like "Build: " showing up. (Let's hope this is not the case!) Nevertheless, I think I'd start with fastboot and go from there. Good luck.
[G1 General] Crembo:
Thanks a lot, ill try it as soon as I get home.

EDIT1:

What the hell? All I did was delete the recovery (didn't even install a new one, kept on saying it's missing the file, even though I did move it using adb push) and now suddenly Android works normally.

EDIT2:

Well now it's stuck again, just like before deleting the recovery...

I'll try to reflash the recovery and then see what happens.
[HD7 General] garduno.cris:
I currently have the HTC hero sprint and i use google voice to make all of my calls and sms, is there a google voice app for windows phone 7 as well?

All i want to be able to do is get a data only plan and use google voice to make my calls and texts for free
[HD7 General] y2k1ltd:
There's a few out there on the marketplace, however if you want to get device you'll need to purchase it at full MSRP or else the carrier will require you to choose a voice and data plan and get the device at the subsided price.
[HD7 General] garduno.cris:
I just checked out T-Mobile's website and it when I choose the plan for data only it sends me to the phone options which include the HD7 for $99
[HD7 General] cnico88:
So is there a way to make calls with the data only plan by using Google Voice?
[HD7 General] krillik08:
From my understanding, No you cannot. Google voice still uses the voice connection because you have to dial in to a number. I have an Evo that I use google voice on all the time. It is currently shut off (because my roommate refuses to pay his half) and I cannot make calls using google voice due to it needing to make a connection with the voice network, not data.
[HD7 General] cnico88:
I came from Android and I know how Google Voice works. You can make calls using SIP (something like Sipdroid coupled with Sipgate) and GVcallback and you can make wifi calls without needing a voice plan. I was wondering if there is something similar for WP7.
[HD7 General] foxbat121:
There is no socket API available at this time. So, VoIP calls are not possible.
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
like he said.

And on t-mobile, even wifi calling that is android only at the moment, uses minutes from what I've read.
