[General Questions and Answers] seboj:
Without a doubt, there will be tablets released soon that are better than the iPad, and the upcoming iPad 2. The problem is making them attractive to the consumer.

A prime example of the Android undersell

: I have ATT, and any time I enter one of their stores, none of the employees are versed in anything Android. Every prop in the store, and everything the employees talk about, revolves around the iPhone / iPad. Even after I stated that I did -not- want an iOS device, I still got the gimmicky lines about how great the Apple products are. Any time I asked technical Android questions (even though I already knew the answer), all I got were blank stares.

I have no doubt that the situation will be the same for upcoming tablets. If the carriers and stores start respecting the Android products a bit more, we might actually see real competition in sales numbers.
[General Questions and Answers] dgalanter:
Really, I just want a tablet independent of my phone carrier. I will just use one on wifi.

I modified the build.prop as suggested (Sholes-2.1) but cannot see a lot of stuff including the newest FB application. Is anyone getting a fully working Market yet?
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
There is this from NookColor portal.

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips

This gets the number of apps that appear up and I can download previously purchased apps but I have not yet been able to get purchasing apps to work.
[Nook Color General] starkruzr:
That totally worked! It was the resetting of data that I hadn't done yet :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
Everytime I play this game called Zombie Defence, and when I press the home key, the phone freezes...

It shows the time, and the time does change, but it is completely unresponsive to touch.

I tried long holding the power button, and the power button vol down combo, and nothing worked.

I had to open up my case and pull out the battery.

Any help on how I can reboot without pulling out?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ostinq:
Stop playing the game? Maybe email the dev for support?
[G2 and Desire Z General] PanCubano:
adb logcat first to find out whats causing it

then adb reboot
[Nook Color General] Cuppeerr:
I have a nook color that's rooted but the screen flipped out and won't display anything all I see are lines, but I can still unlock it, open books and everything, just not read what anything says. Its rooted on 1.0.1 with clockwork mod recovery, how can I get it back to stock so I can send it back?
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
There's several threads in the developer section. Can you adb into it? Download the stock images from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919353

Then follow the instructions later on in the thread. You can either run adb shell dd from your computer in the same directory as your downloaded images or you can push them to the nooks emmc or sdcard and then enter the shell and run dd from there. If you don't have access you can use the froyo on sdcard and do the same thing. If you don't have adb, put the images in the sdcard directory of the froyo sdcard and you can write the images from terminal inside froyo. Or install ssh and do dd from ssh. I've dd'ed images to the mmcblk0p3 and 0p5 about a dozen times in the past few days. If you get a boot loop just clear your data caches with either the 3 finger salute or the recovery boot sdcard. There is a recovery boot sdcard that supposedly can take you back to stock but I have not tried it.

It's amazing how many ways you can flash the images. No wonder they say it's practically impossible to brick these things. I hope more manufactures design things like this. I would love to see jtag become a footnote in wikipedia.

Hey ppl,

I've recently updated to Froyo UVKA6 thru Kies mini. I then continued to try to re root my vibrant. I tried Z4root (didn't work), then I tried One click root (it wouldn't reinstall packages on reboot mode) and then I tried SuperOneClick and it worked (got superuser permission, but still couldn't reinstall packages on reboot mode) I flashed Clockwork Recovery and then tried to reinstall packages I get an error:

Install from sdcard

Anyone every get this problem? If so, how did you fix this? Thank you

So I just got this phone from someone and i know that this is the only tmobile phone that allows you to do free tethering without paying and using your mins. However, I am not familar with the new software that is on this phone. when the screen turns on energy for the software. When i connect to the internet using my usb cable i got a text saying i exceed 5GB...How can i make it so it doesnt use my data?
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
I am running the newest firmware, and have the performance pack, and when

I try and add a widget to the home screen it doesn't work. There seems to

be an updated widget selector with more widgets, but I can't get any to

work. Does anyone else have this issue, and is there a fix if so??
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Anyone else have this problem.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Anyone else have this issue.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Sorry for the double post :(
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Really need help :(
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
My Widgets work fine...

Did you do a data wipe?
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
No because I am not using a rom. I am on the newest stock firmware plus the performance pack.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
Sorry I don't know what to tell you. I'd do a wipe and flash again.

I'm running TNT lite v4.2 and have no issues with widgets.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Well I found out the issue. Seems it was the Android 2.2 settings that I installed

so I could use different keyboards. I rolled back to the TnT settings, and now

it's working. I just wish I knew how to get a different keyboard working again

though :(
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
You are using a rom. Your rom is stock TnT.
[Droid X General] TheFuzz:
Question on wipe and/or restore if/when the next update comes out. I have apex 1.3.1 running with a nandroid back up. But my backup is not clean, on other words it does not go all the way back to before I flashed.

So, 1) will my phone update automatically when an ota is available? 2) do I have to wipe it clean and do a factory restore if I do in fact want to flash to the new OTA? 3) after doing an update I guess I have to literally start from scratch on root and flash because any restore would be based on the old version? 4) finally can I at least use my titanium backup regardless of rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
If the nandroid you have is not a clean backup, then yes, you will need to sbf and factory reset to get back to the option if an OTA comes out.

You can use titanium regardless tho =)
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
hopefully motorola is done messing around with froyo and the next OTA will be 2.3
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Hard telling. My thought is that there will probably be another 2.2 release for the X before a 2.3 release pops out...

Not to be a pessimist... i would love to see 2.3 as soon as possible. I have seen someone saying that Verizon had been toying with a Gingerbread build on the X.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notverycreative:
I know it sounds crazy, but no media players seem to work without them. I have the correct .apks sitting on my desktop right now and adb all ready to install them, but doing so gives me this:

What can I do besides reinstall my ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notverycreative:
Ah, nevermind! Pushing the .apks to the /system/app folder seems to have fixed this.
[Epic 4G General] zipxavier:
I just got my Game Gripper today so I figured I'd shoot a video (with another Epic) of it with the Yoobao battery since I couldn't find confirmation if it would fit with that.

It does and works great

Check it out
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I want one where I get it at?How much?

Is it overlay that pushes Epic's keyboard buttons or connects wirelesly to Epic?
[Epic 4G General] zipxavier:
Overlay pushes Epic's buttons and works surprisingly well. Get one at http://www.home.game-gripper.com/epic It has many different control schemes to choose from and they're 14.99 + shipping.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
isnt there a risk of making the keyboard go bad or hurting the keyboard with this device?
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Wow, that looks really cool. Like the last poster, do you notice that it pushes really hard on the keyboard? Or are the buttons sharp or push really deep into the keyboard? Just wondering how you think it might impact the keyboard's longevity.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Here's a link to a prior thread on the game gripper for Epic-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852753
[Epic 4G General] zipxavier:
There is risk of damaging the keyboard, but I understand that only happens if you arereally rough with the keys. I have only had it for a few days and haven't seen any difference with my keyboard.

Also the keys are not sharp or anything on the side that contacts the keyboard. I don't forsee any long-term issues myself.
[Droid 2 Global General] Sir0:
itS MY BROTHERS fone and it wont turn on??? Is it complete gone or is there another way to bring it back to life. I bricked my htc nexus and ive been able to go around it. But im so lost when it comes to motorola. :eek:? can anyone help please
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
You need to give us something to go off of. if you just say my car is broken will a mechanic know what to do?

Tell us what you or whoever has done to the phone to get it in that state then we can (hopefully) instruct you to fix it.

Is it a Droid 2 global or the original Droid 2.

My first thought is it's out of battery or you destroyed it with a liquid (Always take the battery out of your phone ASAP if you happen to get it wet).
[Droid 2 Global General] Sir0:
Its a regualar droid 2. I rooted the phone months ago. and i guess he was playing around with and bricked it. I used another battery and it turn on and straight to the motorola sign. and stays there. took the battery off put it back on press X and turned it on. and i got into android ! mark. i hit search button and it takes me to the system recovery. Did the wipe date/factory reset. and wipe cache. All i get now is E: can't open /cache/ recovery/command. Im outta my league with motorola. how can i unbrick this from here
[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
Best bet at this point would be to use RSDLite and flash the Full Stock SBF file.
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
Yes you need the 2.3.20 sbf and rsdlite to flash the software to the phone. Ignore that 'error' in the stock recovery it always says that.

Also if you have a D2 why did you post in the D2 G section?
[Droid 2 Global General] fKngFtd:
I actually have the same problem, I used RSDLite to flash the full SBF, and my M2G won't power on. The process I have tired is a battery pull while charger is connected, then insert battery followed by holding power and x down.(nothing happened) I have not tried the method of using a different battery.

Any help is appreciated, I would like for the phone to power on. I don't want to use a warranty replacement just yet!

I used this SBF found here.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...l-sbf-file-2-4-29-full-rsdlite.html#post49668
[Droid 2 Global General] helmutiffe:
Pressing the up-arrow when turning the phone on should take it straight to the bootloader, where you can then try flashing the SBF again.
[Droid 2 Global General] fKngFtd:
Thank you, I tried that right when I went home with the same battery and nothin, then I tried the same process with a new battery and it worked.... Thank you for the response.

Peace Off & Blow Ganja!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BGH80:
Not sure if this is a symptom of Cyanogenmod nightly or something else, but I can no longer add new widgets. I have downloaded quite a few but they don't show up in the widget list when I go to add a new widget. All the default ones are there.

I know the widgets are installed because they show as installed in the application manager and market app. In the market app if I go to my downloads the app is listed as installed and if I click on it and then go "open" it opens the screen that says "this is a widget, please add it to your homescreen by long pressing the background" message that some widgets have.

But when I go to add them, they just dont appear in the list. It's the same with many different launchers. Any thoughts?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Some widgets will not show up in the list if they are installed on the SD card. If they're installed there, just move the apps to the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BGH80:
Great. Solved the problem, thanks for that. Should have though of it myself I guess.

I'm guessing that Cyangoenmod defaults to installing to SD card because I never set that. I have switched it back to defaulting to internal memory now.

[Focus Accessories] premiumdude:
Hey Hey,

Just wanted to give folks a heads up, Bestskinsever.com is now selling full phone skins for the Samsung Focus.

I just ordered one, and it was only $US 6.99 plus $2.00 shipping. You can't beat the price. I ordered from them for my last phone (Samsung Impression) and I was very happy with the product.

Just thought folks would like an alternative to the $30 price point for the InvisiShields of the world for what I feel is a good option. Check it out if you like.

ps - For the record I am in no way affiliated with this company!! Feel silly saying so, but there are many spam wary people out there :D
[Focus Accessories] patrickk:
I bought a skin for mine from Gadget Guard (like an Invisishield) via ebay, but paid about $13. This seems like a pretty good deal.

Does it have the same tackyness that these types of skins have? Mine does and it definitely affects the feel of the touch screen. It's something I'll probably have to get used to but i'm considering just using the side and back skins - I'm glad these people offer a body-only option.
[Fascinate General] mindcritic:
My wife has been nagging me to root and rom up her Fascinate for a while now after seeing me spend hours playing with different roms and mods on my Incredible. She got bored and tried to flash something and "bricked" her phone. Uuhhg guess who gets to fix it? I want to thank you all for the easy to follow directions, I was able to get her on DL09 after following the great guides posted in the forum. Man this phone is a little more tricky than my dInc, but I am in LOVE with the big screen!! Once again, thank you all, my wife finally is happier and stopped nagging me! :D
[Fascinate General] kenesis:
Congrats man, thats good to hear. The phone's not really that difficult to mess around with though
[Fascinate General] mindcritic:
I'm just use to my phone I guess ;) Odin had me a little nervous (hooking up with the battery pulled and all) but given a little time I'll probably be allot more comfortable with it (until the wife gets bored again).
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Just keep in mind that as long as you don't flash anything with the Phone button in ODIN, it's almost impossible to actually brick this phone. Even then it's not technically a brick, as you can still make it bootable; the cellular radio just won't work anymore.

Awesome, my wife hates my phone. She can't stand hearing about roms and kernels.. I understand why but that just sucks
[HD2 Accessories] Heronization:
Hi guys I have been looking a case for my HTC HD2 for awhile and on my other thread you guys suggested I get the Otterbox case for it! Which looks fantastic, but as I was researching about it I looked some reviews and a lot of people said that it was a bad case because the back plastic part brakes off when they try to take the case off.... I was just wanted to know if any of you with that case had that problem???

Thanks and please leave comments :)
[HD2 Accessories] JohnM109R:
I have the OtterBox for 2weeks now Solid as it comes best case IMO for great protection. It is I bit bulky but hey you don't want to drop your phone with out the OtterBox You will be sorry LOL...

I use it during the week and take it off on the weekends...:)
[HD2 Accessories] radedy2010:
hi ! I have a otter box cover and my clip broke, taking it off.
[HD2 Accessories] Heronization:
Hmmmmm I am not sure if I should spend $30 dollars on it now, it seems a lot of people have these problems
[HD2 Accessories] coldest~~~:
get a cheap tpu ones from ebay for 5.50 bucks, works great for me...
[HD2 Accessories] googlesax:
in my experience i found that the otterbox COMMUTER case was a bad design because over time as you take off the plastic backing that goes over the silicone case, cracks begin to appear, and the cracks eventually cause the plastic backing to shatter upon removal.

the otterbox DEFENDER case on the other hand is very solidly built and provides GREAT protection, i wish i had just gotten the defender case to begin with as it offers much greater protection and i got for 30bucks off of amazon compared to the 55 from the otterbox website
[HD2 Accessories] badai:
i've been using defender for 7 months. once, a very, very, very tiny fragment broke off from the case, i don't know form which part.

over all, i've abused my phone a lot and the case really can stand it. imo, it's really worth it. every time i read "my screen broke", i always wonder: why this poor guy never use defender in the first place?
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I've been using the defender for months and it's still in excellent condition. Clip hasn't broken and feels VERY solid. I can't imagine how someone would break that. I even use it as a stand when I'm on flights.

As for the plastic, I regularly take the case off completely when I swap batteries after long video viewings or after using the HD2 as an MP3 player when I run. No plastic has broken off from there either.

I'd have to wonder what someone was doing with it in order to break such a durable case.
[HD2 Accessories] JohnM109R:
+1 ^^ apallohadas
[HD2 Accessories] tunppi:
ive been using defender series for over 6months and taking it of sometimes many times a day, not a scratch on it even though it has saved my hd2 twice.

i take it of by turning up and bottom of shield in different directions and it comes of very easily.

screen cover has some scratches but nothing else.

getting new one if something too horrible happens to this one :) best accessory for hd2 definitely.

edit: actually 8months
[HD2 Accessories] wargo:
Same for me, I have COMMUTER case from five month ago and the hard plastic begun to cracked, now I lost the lower part of the hard case.
[HD2 Accessories] Final5k:
Seems that otterbox is not a wise choice if it breaks this easily then. How about Pdair/Monaco Aluminium Case - anyone has experience with it?
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
Lol, did you read the 5 posts right before your's?
[HD2 Accessories] Heronization:
Well then I am not sure if I should get the Defender Case or just a cheap plastic backing with a screen protector with it

what do you guys think?
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I think that the OtterBox does NOT break easily. The Commuter had issues that OtterBox addressed, including sending some replacement parts (from what I've read).

If you want to trust one of the best cellphones out there, with a 50 cent piece of cheap silicone gel, then go for it. I'll stick with something way more durable since this is probably the best phone I've owned thus far.
[HD2 Accessories] TechAnimal:
I had been so disgusted that I was thinking of starting my own thread till I came across this one.

The otterbox commuter looks great as a case but that's where it ends. Outside of looks, the case is utter junk. If you never take it off or drop your phone then you're fine but removal and/or drops will result in cracks and ultimately due to design, useless bits of broken plastic.

I had mine for a week before it started cracking and two weeks later, it was in bits. I'd also like to add that it bulls up the phone more than is necessary in my opinion.

I've got the invisible shield on and am looking for a rubber case to go over that. My advice is to avoid hard plastic for cases and go with with metal or rubber/silicon.
[HD2 Accessories] Final5k:
Argh! the replies are somewhat confusing with people having broken parts in the case while some are praising it. I'm really tempted to get one but I'm afraid to be disappointed if the case starts to break aftewards. Still I'm undecided between the defender case or the pdair aluminium case.
[HD2 Accessories] TechAnimal:
The defender appears to be quite sturdy but bulky. I'm not familiar with the pdair one.
[HD2 Accessories] Paten:
There are two different sizes of cases for the HD2. I have the T-Mobile US versions of the phone and the Commuter case. I have had both since they each came out. My commuter case has no cracks. I have removed it several times and see no evidence of cracks. However, I am very careful and try not to flex it too much when removing it. I also carry it in a belt holster originally meant for a G1 and not in my pocket. This extra protection may make a difference.
