[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Since the last upgrade, I got a new status icon indicating 4G antenna on, Scanning, etc

I have my EVO on 4G all the time. I have a 4G signal at home in NYC. I have had the signal for months already. The signal disappeared sometime overnight.

I also noticed this morning the battery was 20%. Strange. I always find if 100%, full in the morning.

the bug is, when the 4G signal went off, the 4G status icon was in "Scanning". That for sure takes a whole lot of energy and battery. I was thinking my cable was damaged as it happened already once. Then, I checked my USB port.

Finally it came to my mind that it must be that stupid 4G signal that went on vacation, and my cell phone was wasting more battery than normal when scanning for it:

".....Scanning, Connecting to Sprint, Scanning, Connecting to Sprint, Scanning, Connecting to Sprint, Scanning, Connecting to Sprint, Scanning, Connecting to Sprint, Scanning, Connecting to Sprint...."

Imagine this endless loop for hours and hours.

It will never connect to Sprint. Not in 4G. It should be implemented in a way that EVO gives up trying to connect to 4G and breaks this loop!

Now that I disabled the 4G, the battery is finally charging. Mystery solved.

This happened only after the upgrade. After they installed that 4G scanning antenna option thing.

NOW, Sprint: WHY? Where is my 4G signal at home? I'm paying 10$+taxes extra for it! Please, return my signal. Please don't steal my money! and my battery!

thanks.

Okay so I searches this and I remember on my aria seeing something about changing kernels before you go from 2.2 to 2.1 and I was wondering if there was a proccess for downgrading from 2.3 nightlies on the Evo. My brother had GB and wanted to go to the wimax rom. Thanks u bunch
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
well you going to get flamed there is a question sub forum for the evo.

Not sure about your Aria but on evo roms a kernel is present when you flash a rom it just has to be there. Not sure where you were going with this

If you have a EVo and want to flash a sense rom just flash it, there are other kernels available but are not required to be flashed ontop in order for that ROM to work
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Yup what ^ he/she said. Just make sure you wipe everything before going from and to aosp roms. Kernels are included with all roms. But when you go to the cm wimax thread you will see that you need to flash a kernel with the rom for it to work.. which is downloadable on the thread.

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slightly.stoopid:
Hey thanks a lot. I just wanted to be sure... I did do a search for the subject tto no avail. I appreciate you'd speedy response. He flashed the wimax rom and got stuck in the bootloader even after clearing everything so maybe just have to try it again. Thanks

Does anyone has this issue? The volume is so low I can barely hear it. It wasn't like this before I upgraded to froyo.
[Defy General] shamo42:
Same here. Seems to be a bug of the Chinese Froyo ROM. I hope the US/European Froyo will be more polished.
[Defy General] JamesDax:
The new T-Mobile US Froyo ROM appears to perfect. Been missin around with it for a few hours now and have non of the issues I had with the Chinese ROM. Makes me wonder when this is being officailly released.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardkorekid:
I recently installed CM7-01192011 nightly and everything was going fine but I wake up today and take my phone off of the charger and my power button no longer does anything. I wanna try and reflash a past recovery to see if that will fix it but I cant even get into recovery without the top button. I tried using rom manager also that didnt work. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to fix this? any help would be great thanks in advance. Oh also when I remove battery and reinsert the phone auto turns on.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclipsed450:
the auto-turn-on when the battery is reinserted is normal, however, that is odd about the button not working. does the screen turn on or off when you push it while it's on the charger?? if you the tools loaded on your computer, you could do 'adb reboot recovery' at a command prompt
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
If the phone is off (if you can manage to turn it off) does the power button work? Say, if you go into clockwork rom manager, and reboot into recovery from there, or go into terminal emulator and type

$ su
#reboot recovery

Does the power button do anything in recovery? It should make the screen go blank.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardkorekid:
Power button does nothing and ya I tried that using terminal still wont get into recovery gets to the screen where you have to hold volume up and hit the power button and no I cant turn phone off also starting this morning my touch screen stopped working. Im still under warranty but cant figure out how to get the darn thing back to stock since I cant get into recovery
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
Install ROM MANAGER and click "Reoot to recovery"

lol

let me know if this works
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
You can always try this way ;)

MU HA HA HA

If something goes wrong, dont blame me.. Ive never tried this lol

Hope it helps you
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardkorekid:
ya rom manager was the first thing I tried didnt work also tried sdk also didnt work. All methods get to the screen where you need to push power and volume up. I was gonna try the key remapper but my touch panel failed and I have no way to navigate on the phone to open the app.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardkorekid:
Ok I got it back to stock by using the ESPRIMG. Phone still dosnt work but at least its stock now. Tmobile is sending me a new phone should be here in a few days. Thanks for all the help attempts.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Fyrmedic654:
First, I apolgize if this belongs in the general section, I just wasn't sure where to post. I would like to change the look of my dialer (the one you hit the phone icon to bring up), specifically to the look of Jt's AOSP rom dialer posted by Captainkrtek and pictured below. I really can't find anything that says exactly what to change in the contacts apk to get it to look like that. Rather, everything I have done has failed miserably. can anyone give me a little insight into what I take from one to put into the other? Thanks in advance
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adiliyo:
the touchwiz dialer and aosp dialer don't line up right, you'll need some xml edits (DIP) and images and a bunch of other stuff.

the dialer is TabDialerActivity.apk (or something like that)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
DialerTabActivity.apk and framework-res.apk
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Fyrmedic654:
Big thanks to both of you. I have that apk on my phone, but the aosp rom doesn't, do they hide that somewhere else on aosp? I am just sifting thru the whole rom right now looking for the same files. Also, if they don't line up right, am I just wasting my time?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
Well, it all depends on what you want. You might want to check Phone.apk also.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Fyrmedic654:
Eh, looked there but nothing matches up. I give up. Getting it like that may be more than my noob behind can handle right now. I'm still learning the ins and outs so, I may put this on the back burner next to my custom boot animation. Thanks again for the help. At least now if I find one I like in another theme, I will be able to change it

I don't see why not. I've used micro USB cables from other phones and devices for my DInc and it has yet to fail me.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Manitook:
host mode

If you just need an adapter then get an adapter.

The item you linked to is for using the phone as the HOST when mounting flash drives or other usb devices from the phone. Our phone does not have the driver stack needed to mount external usb. I am not even sure we have a usb controller chip for host mode.

Here are a few links I found the last time I went looking for a way to mount my point-n-shoot in order to get pictures from the camera straight to the phone without having to use a PC as a middleman.

http://hackaday.com/2010/02/10/usb-host-mode-for-droid/

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/91/t/2122.aspx

There maybe a way to do it but I am not a coder at all and have no clue how to add the needed drivers and what not.

Good luck and please let us know if you figure out a way to do this.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Thanks for clearing up that host thing.

Well, damn.

:/

This would have been useful to hook up external hard drives or flash drives.

But you're sure about that? Cuz the female end would be sticking out of the phone, so something could be plugged into it. So maybe it will work? I dunno.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Manitook:
Sure the physical conection will work. but I don't think the phone will known what to do with it.

A cat's male conector will fit in a dog's female port, but that does not mean it will properlly mount so to say... and both may be damaged from the attempt..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Lol.... Freaky analogy.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Manitook:
The ones I rejected where even more freaky.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jambolia:
Haven't got enough posts to publish in the dev part of the forum and I can't find anyone with a DHD and this problem.

I'm on mike1986' Android Revolution HD 2.0.7 with senseless and trying to upgrade to 2.0.8 - with senseless.

I can't boot into ClockworkMod Recovery through Rom Manager or the boot menu (vol down at boot). Running 2.5.1.3 and it just hangs on the HTC screen. Tried flashing it twice from Rom Manager - no joy.

Looking for any advice - the rest of the phone runs fine btw.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sub7even:
Try to use the LASTEST version of CWM. i had this issues before coz i'm using the old version that i got from torrent. after i installed/ overwrite the old one, it works like charm! gud luck!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jambolia:
Cheers for the help, one question tho. As far as I am aware the latest CWM is 2.5.1.3. should I try using the "flash an older CWM" in Rom Manager?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jambolia:
All done, a massive thanks dude for the help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sub7even:
Well, this is what you need to check before u want it to works..

1. Firstly, NOT to update your phone with latest firmware that is 17.2/17.5 (this will not work for ALL attempt)

2. Root your phone - apps needed (superuser & VISIONary+)

3. ROM Manager (get the latest one and granted as superuser) with the right Flash CWM Recovery.

4. S-OFF (check on the pinned DHD Android development thread)

i think that's all.. other might add in some info if i got myself less on it.. thank you
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jambamkin:
I'd try flashing an older recovery and flashing back to the newest. Remember you can also get to recovery by switching off and charging.
[Droid X General] openbox9:
Anyone know of a way to prevent Motorola's driver disc image from mounting when connecting the DX via USB? The "wonderful" option came about with the Froyo upgrade. It was a nice idea except the Windows drivers are useless to me and I believe it mounts first, which mean the stereo in my car doesn't see my SD card first with all of my music. The image is still present with Fission too :( I'm assuming all other ROMs are the same?
[Droid X General] joojoobee666:
Join the crowd. Droid 2 Global here, same problem. Thanks for the nothing, Motorola. We love it when large companies shove stuff down our arses. Now I can't use the phone in my car in "mass storage mode" since my car doesn't know what a cd-rom drive is....

I tried the Fission ROM, same problem. I fear this is compiled into the drivers in the kernel...and thanks to Moto locking the **** out of this bootloader, no new kernel's for us....
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
You can't use an aux cord? I hook an aux cord from my car stereo to my phone headset jack and play music
[Droid X General] joojoobee666:
Sure I could, but I would much prefer using this in mass storage mode since I have controls on my steering wheel. Not to mention, that seems like pretty much a work-around for the fudgery Motorola decided to do with "mass storage mode".

I did tear down the usb.apk last night and found these items:

.line 217
new-array v0, v3, [Ljava/lang/String;
const-string v1, "Motorola Phone Tools"
aput-object v1, v0, v4
const-string v1, "Windows Media Sync"
aput-object v1, v0, v5
const-string v1, "Memory Card Management"
aput-object v1, v0, v6
const-string v1, "Phone as Modem"
aput-object v1, v0, v7
const/4 v1, 0x4
const-string v2, "None"
aput-object v2, v0, v1
sput-object v0, Lcom/motorola/usb/UsbService;->mUsbModeString:[Ljava/lang/String;

Looks like that string is getting put into an array, then getting stored in "mUsbModeString", but I don't know much past that yet. (Don't really know Java/Smali)
[Droid X General] openbox9:
Of course I can, and I'm currently forced to do so. However, that doesn't allow me to take advantage of my nice touchscreen and steering wheel controls that I used to be able to use. Motorola included this undocumented "feature" and I'd like to know how to get rid of it.
[Droid X General] openbox9:
joojoo, I know absolutely nothing about Java or any language, but is that Motorola Phone Tools the thing that loads the image and provides the Motohelper Windows executables that I can't use even if I wanted to?
[Droid X General] joojoobee666:
Not sure, but that is what is on that virtual CDROM drive. May also just indicate the first option (when you choose PC Mode). At this point I am not sure. I just know that file is definitely involved in USB funtionality in general on the Droid 2 Global. Removing it leaves the phone with a dead usb port while it is out, so it is critical for our devices, but I also confirmed that the Droid one does not use this usb.apk and usb functions fine.

Basically, my knowledge of this is not large enough to infer if this is even relevant or not. :confused:
[Droid X General] openbox9:
I'm honestly surprised that this isn't a bigger deal. I've found very little info from searching and most everything I have found involves disabling the service on a Windows computer so that the image doesn't mount. That's great, but it doesn't solve the problem that we're having. Motorola's support forums were even less helpful.

BTW, are you the one that responded to my ticket for the Fission-rom issues?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
It's not a perfect solution, but you can connect it just over Bluetooth audio (at least it works with my Ford Sync). That way it won't display song information on your radio, but you can still use the steering wheel controls. I'm forced to do it this way because apparently there is/was an issue with a specific version or versions of the iPhone OS that is known to corrupt the Ford Sync USB connections, requiring a complete system reset to get it to work (and it's too cold out for me to bother with it during the winter).
[Droid X General] openbox9:
Not with my Chevy Traverse :(
[Droid X General] joojoobee666:
Sadly, no bluetooth here either.
[Droid X General] WonderDroid:
Why Moto why? Just let my phone be free. I happen to have blue tooth so not too affected but if I had mass storage than I could ask for songs and artist by name (Ford Sync).
[Adam Themes and Apps] Eujin:
Original Post:

Alright, I've been lurking forever for Windows Mobile stuff, but I just got an Adam.

I was trying to figure out if there was anyway to use a USB gamepad with the adam, and found an app named "Gamepad IME"

Apparently it works with pretty much every program I want it for. However, as the Adam has no market access, I can't find it anywhere. I don't have an android phone, so I can't rip the APK that way, and I can't find the APK anywhere on the net.

If anyone can get the APK for that app and post it here, that'd be fantastic.

First result for it when googling is the androlib page for it.

Update 2/2/11:

Ok, So I picked up one of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826179017

Which is a HID compliant gamepad. It's still not detected, I'm wondering if there's a compatability issue with the adam and the GamePad IME

Sven, the developer, has the source code up on his website: http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

Any intrepid coders care to look at it and see if there's any way to get it to function with the adam?
[Adam Themes and Apps] Meister_Li:
Here you go. I hope this will work, good luck! :D
[Adam Themes and Apps] Eujin:
You are fantastic. Thank you greatly.

Sadly, it seems that my USB gamepad(Which is just a PS3 usb adapter) doesn't function. I'll see if I can dig up any other USB gamepads that show up as general gamepads without drivers, and see if they work.
[Adam Themes and Apps] no6969el:
Anyone test the below

Xbox 360 usb controller

Wii controller via bluetooth

Ps3 controller via bluetooth
[Adam Themes and Apps] Eujin:
Tested PS3 controller via bluetooth, doesn't get detected when attempting to pair.

It seems the PS3 only enables pairing mode via usb through supported devices.

I don't own either of the others to test with, sadly.

I've tried a random PC gamepad and the xbox 360 usb controller but no luck here.

[Adam Themes and Apps] no6969el:
I wonder what it would take to get the 360 controller detected via usb.. would we need to compile drivers from windows or how would that work?
[Adam Themes and Apps] archanox:
Love to see the Wireless 360 adapter for wireless 360 controllers.

Or even a PS3 controller via bluetooth should be achievable given the right devs who can look at the Windows Mobile app. I think it pairs via usb too.
