[Venue Pro General] kasrhp:
Also having the same freezing/crashing issue here. The only way to get the phone back is to yank the battery. I just spoke with Dell tech and they tell me they can't ship out new phones anymore because of this being a known issue. That I will have to wait for the March update that is supposed to fix things.

I also let her know about the RAM issue. I am only showing 225.02, and she said they ship with 256, not 512. I asked her why they specced it out at 512 on the site, as well as Msoft and every review, and she simply said she understands it has 256, and that it is what it is. Nothing I can do about it.

It's always good to have a company know what is going on with their products:eek:
[Venue Pro General] gmontem:
Do carriers have the final say on what phones can receive the WP7 updates? I'm a little worried that T-Mobile may not push the updates into our Dell Venue Pro phones. I'm not 100% convinced T-Mobile supports this phone, despite the phone supporting T-Mobile's 3G bands. :(
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
They can block one update, but the next one has to be released, according to Microsoft. However MS initially promised that carriers would NOT have any power over updates so to be honest, it seems the carriers are the ones in total control of updates so anything could happen.
[Venue Pro General] uKnowChinchilla:
03/23/2011: I have been using the phone for about 22 hours with no problems. Before going to sleep, I never did put the phone to charge but the following morning the phone still had around 75% battery life. So I decided to have it charge for about an hour before leaving. When I went to check on the battery, the screen did not power back on. As Desynthesis mentioned, hitting the power button just once would just flash the lights of the back, windows and search icon. I held down the power button but neither would it shut down so I had to pull the battery. Is anyone continuously experiencing this issue on their Dell Venue Pro?
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
It happens once in a while on my otherwise stable phone. I can reboot it by holding power for about 10 or 20 seconds though - usually until the keyboard light turns off. I've never had to pull the battery.
[Venue Pro General] uKnowChinchilla:
Thanks pjfan75, I'll make sure to give that a try if it occurs again. I do have one question though. Would it matter if I have a password lock on my phone for this method to work?
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Not sure. Are you able to power off the phone if it's locked with a password otherwise?
[Venue Pro General] uKnowChinchilla:
So I've tested it out and the phone does shut off even when it's password locked. So if the issue with the screen occurs again. I'll just use the method you mentioned earlier. Thanks!

I have bunch of empty thumbs in this gallery, how to fix this and where this images are? What is directory to insert additional images?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Bump... anyone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
Not sure of a fix or how to add images but the reason you have empty thumbs is because the ROM your using doesn't supply enough images to fill up the directory. The images in your screen shot is not the collection of images found on the stock ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Its calkulin rom but if am not wrong i have those after flashing new theme (Riptide9). I am trying to figure out where images are stored.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
How did i miss this? Thanks!

Dont have any extras on phone but when trying to insert image inside folder that work, when go to gallery it does not (images not shown getting msg - phone storage is full)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
I'm not sure but maybe there is a value somewhere that tells the OS how many images should be displayed or something. I'll play around on my end and see what I can come up with

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] idrinkallday:
Hi,

Hope i'm posting this in correct place. I have a samsung galaxy s that is about a month old. It behaves differently than all other galaxy s phones when i try to install custom roms on it.

What i did after buying it was flash a speedmod kernel on it so that i could install custom roms. I then installed darky's rom v8.0 from zip. When you install his rom it should by itself install a voodoo kernel... thus replacing the speedmod kernel i put on there. Does it? Nope... the kernel reverts back to the factory kernel that came with the phone. So ok.. i'll just flash the voodoo kernel myself using odin. Works? Well.. about phone page says i now have voodoo kernel, but if i go into recovery what do i see? The default samsung recovery 2e tools when i should see a voodoo red screen with options. I have tried like a dozen times flashing different roms, then flashing back to JPY so i can start over and try different roms. What i find is that the phone simply won't install a kernel correctly when i am flashing a custom rom. Always back to

android system recovery <2e>

Samsung Recovery Utils

- for BML-

I'd like to know if anyone else heard of this happening before, because it kind of sucks. The phone seems to have like a mind of its own and i've asked in various rom irc channels and every1 says wow so weird but can offer no explanation. Oh.. the product code of phone is... GT-I9000RWYXEE. Hope someone knows whats going on here. Thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] donalgodon:
I bought two of what was labeled as an OEM Samsung battery from eBay. They are G7 instead of the G9 that my phone came with and they each have an exactly identical serial number. I assume this means that they are fakes, correct?

I mean, they do "look" the same, have a perfect fit and the label, if it's fake, is one of the best I've seen, but the identical serial number makes me think I got scammed. I didn't pay much for them, but stil.

What do you think, guys?
[Vibrant Accessories] sugar014:
it's said that 2 batterys could have the same serial number
[Vibrant Accessories] donalgodon:
How about 3? I noticed that the one in the auction pic has the same serial number, and the labels don't match 100%. There's also no manufacture date on the "OEM Samsung" batteries.

I'm starting to think that I didn't get what I thought I bought. :o
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zeiroe:
Just thought I'd pass this along. Before the NS, I used the hell out of "Extended Controls" ... Sadly, most of the toggles I would have liked to use do not work with the NS (2.3 compatibility issue?). Emailed the dev and got responses right away saying it will be updated next week. Next week came and gone ... came and gone again. Dev is probably behind with RL stuff so sooner or later it will be updated. In the mean time, I found an awesome alternative with more features ... and its free.

Widgetsoid2.X

Highly customizable power control widget ... and can even be configured to add a power control widget from your notification bar drop down.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Yeah I really like widgetsoid. Since cm team still hasn't got the flashlight working I use its flashlight widget inside the notification bar. Works great.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jaker.the.skater:
great app, been using it for a while now. but how do you put the widgets in the notification bar? can't seem to find it
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
ohh that's a nice find :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
Odd. Both my wife and I use extended controls fine. I find if you restore it via Titanium, it doesn't work but if you do a fresh install of it, everything functions great. Good find though.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] solarus2011:
The widget isn't really not put in the notification bar. It puts the image of your widget there but when you click on a power control it brings up the power control in an overlay of your screen where you then select which power control you want to turn on/off. For me (not short on screen space) its no quicker than using regular widget on the screen.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] n1ggyn1ce:
thanks! I've been using extended controls even though it wasn't fully operational w/gingerbread. Just dl'ed widgetzoid and bluetooth works! Liking the vertical option too..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ravidavi:
I was really impressed by Widgetsoid and its developer 2 weeks ago. I found a bug, emailed the dev, and got a response in like an hour. Within like 2 hours of emailing him, he tracked down the bug and incorporated a fix into the next release. Now that's service.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
we reported it a while ago :)

(p.s. google translate is your friend ;) )
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
The thing I really like is how easy it is to edit existing widgets. Saves a lot of time if you just want to add or remove something from a power control type bar
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
the app is good, no doubt, but it's a major pain in the back to configure

some options are no longer available after you hit apply

so if you ever want to change them again, you can't (for example the invisible option, there are a few more that are no longer accessible after it was saved)

and the only alternative is to delete it, and create a new one
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
Guess that's why I'm sticking with extended controls. Profiles are so easy to edit.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
but once you master this App, it's a big treasure chest! :D

once everything was properly setup and configure, it easily replaced 7+ apps

TeslaLED

tons of On/Off Widgets

Ace Volume

Battery info

crap load of other ones i uninstalled

i setup 4 rows, maybe gonna add 1 more for 5 rows for Apps

that's the nice thing about this app, you can create custom shortcuts to make it launch your most used apps, from the Notification area

i simply love it

Widgetsoid2.x

http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetsoid2-x/com.jim2
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jaker.the.skater:
well that's not really a problem. I just couldn't find the option in the settings. where exactly is it?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gogol:
Top app, I paid the donation version because this kind of good developer need to be supported.

The dev answered my question and implemented my suggestion!

PS: No problem with applying profile. And if you do have, just email the dev, he will answer and fix.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kwhy:
are you guys able to enable/disable Data with Widgetsoid 2.x on Nexus S using Gingerbread 2.3.. (unrooted?).

Most items work, but this one does not toggle Mobile Data on/off on my phone. I dunno if this is a security limitation right now with this OS.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
you need super user (root) for most of the features
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jivemaster:
Yeah I noticed this too. Was a shame, cause this is the main reason I was after this. I guess this functionality of directly enabling/disabling from the task bar cannot be enabled in stock roms without direct framework changes.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jimmy06:
Hi,

Widgetsoid need root only for the reboot toggle :)

For the data on Nexus S just restaur your apn, check your data is enable and go to global preferences of widgetsoid and check "disable all apn".

Now it have to work.

Android don't allow event on notifications it's an android limitation not an widgetsoid error/limitation.

On HTC rom it's works directly because HTC have modify android source code to allow this. HTC users are lucky. Next version have an option to disable popup after click on notification.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Just thought I share this with everyone. While fiddling with my Tab tonight, I accidentally clicked on Samsung's AllShare app I previously installed, but never tried.

To my surprise, the app quickly went into discovery mode and a "WDTV live" popped up among the list of supported devices. Since I was just watching a movie on my WDTV live I was first completely puzzled as to how the heck Tab found it and just for the kicks I made a connection with the WDTV live. It didn't require any passwords, numbers or anything - simply made the connection in a second or two.

A list of videos I had on the Tab showed up, I clicked one and voila! - the video soon went streaming from the Tab to my WDTV live and then to my projector screen!

After a few minutes I remembered I recently plugged into the WDTV live a WIFI USB dongle to be used with my keyboards. I had no idea that WDTV would be able to receive anything other than keyboard inputs through them, but turns out it does!

I didn't do a lot of testing, but it seems to work very well - had no problem at all streaming DIVX quality video from the tab and even managed to play one 720 movie as well as 1080. Both of them are heavily compressed, tough, so be warned. I also tried playing a h264 720 movie but it was just all black for a minute so I gave up. This is the same movie that Tab plays normally through movie app, so I'm guessing it's probably the WiFi transfer rate that's the bottleneck. Maybe it would work after enough of data was transfered, but as I said - I didn't wait too long. Photos and music work just fine.

So, there you have it, if you have WDTV live, a WIFI USB dongle and the need to stream from the Tab, you can do it without any problem!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Lucky_Charms:
You can also use twonky and stream you media to an xbox 360 or ps3 as well.
[Nook Color General] Tom S.:
I'm receiving the following error when trying to use Win32 disk imager to make a backup copy (read) of my Micro SD card with nookie installed:

"An error occurred when trying to get the devices geometry. Error 8:".

I've done a bit of searching on this but can't find anything. Anybody have any ideas?

Is there a good alternate?
[Nook Color General] slugbug2010:
Man it took me HOURS to figure it out. I had the EXACT SAME problem (when trying to copy the auto-nooter img to my sd card).

I think what finally worked was:

*make SURE you open and run as Administrator (right click on the Disk Imager and select Run as Administrator)

*AND after you've selected the the sd card drive GET OUT OF IT. Click on any other drive or close that explorer window all together.

I hope this helps. I feel your pain.
[Nook Color General] Tom S.:
Thanks. I'll give it a try. I'm paranoid now though, as I removed my nookie froyo on SD and I lost all of my applications. I guess I'm supposed to do a save to SD card, right?
[Nook Color General] slugbug2010:
I think in your original post you are just trying to backup your sd card, right?

I've done that with my NC and my Evo and every time all I do is huck up via usb, open the drive, create a folder in my C drive (Nook, Evo), and then copy, paste. I then transfer most things to an external HD.

So to backup your sd card all you have to do is copy and paste it somewhere else. DON'T wipe it if you have things saved on there that you need to have run off your NC.
[Nook Color General] Tom S.:
The problem with the nookie use is that your card doesn't show up as a mountable drive under windows. You have to use something like dropbox.

Hold on, I hate to admit this, but I mixed up the SD cards when I pulled them out. I have 2; one of which I had a vanilla image of nookie on. The right one (the one I spent hours on), is fine. Doh.
[Nook Color General] slugbug2010:
So you are all good and set to go?
[Nook Color General] mckooter:
if possible use ubuntu for this (you can do it from a live cd)

i had nothing but issues with windows and win32diskimager and burning sd cards (p.s. windows has no good sd card partitioners that im aware of)

dd is the best way to burn the image, and you can use gparted (if installed) to recover the sd after your done (if your like me and burn sd cards like its no body's business (its not))
[Nook Color General] Tom S.:
Yes. I'm going to transfer this image to my new class 10, and then use this card to put Honeycomb on...
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
Under Windows, use EASEUS Partition Manager, currently on version 7.01. Free for home use. You can resize partitions or remove them all to reuse the card for another image or whatever. Also, Win32DiskImager is on 0.2-r23-win32. It will restore or create backups just fine. Both are fine for working with Honeycomb and Froyo images.

Mounting the partitions is another issue. I haven't dabbled in Cygwin, never could get it working right. Best use Ubuntu for that, I've got the Netbook edition of 10.10 dual booting with Win 7 x64, long story.

[Nook Color General] Tom S.:

This is nuts. Windows 7x64, run as admin, not in any folder, antivirus off, and carbonite off (who knows). Ideas?

Oh, it always seems to get to 49%. Plenty of disk space free too.

Nooke Color, have 8gig brand new card, win32 imager won't find auto nooter 2.12.25

Hi all, i have searched some Q&A on Nookdevs, and LaunchPad, and via code.google nooter project hosting while first trying to root via instructions on Techrepub, which are very detailed, and seemed very simple.

I cannot get past the step of writing the file to my card. It's a brand new 8 gb card, and i'm hooking it up to my laptop (which has WIN 7) via a Dynex sd card reader/ writer. The win32 writer software is unzipped ok, and i open it, and it will find the auto nooter file (which i also unzipped ok) which is on the sd card (windows recognizes the reader as drive H:), but when i add drive H: from the dropdown selection for the drive, and then click "Write" button, i get a pop up error that the software cannot locate this file. The only real similar issue i've seen while all my searching is the "Error 8" thing which this is not.

*Edit to original; trying this on another PC was all it needed. I guess Dell failed me, haha.
[Nook Color General] xdadidida:
Try a different usb port or sd card reader? Not all of them are the same. Some work reliably and some are terrible...
[Nook Color General] mg00000:
Reader may be the issue?

I can return the card reader. I think this is the only option since i've gotten nowhere. Too bad best buy only carries one. Anyone suggest a brand name that works?

yes, i've tried the other usb ports. I am trying a different computer today to check.

thanks much.
[Nook Color General] elspringer:
Okay I had the same issue... couldn't get diskimager to work. Several people said use ubuntu live cd... didn't want to. So I found a version of DD that works on windows. I've posted very little so can't post links but a google search for "DD for windows" will find it... it's hosted on chrysocome dot net

If you've used unix dd it's simular and it worked for me.

Hope this helps as an alternative!

Quick fix for error #8

Hey guys!

All you need to do is download Panasonic SD Card Formatter 2.0. Do a quick format, and it will work for you.

If you are getting error 8, it is most likely you used the SD card for an image previously and the partitions are goofed on it.

Panasonic SD Card Formatter 2.0 fixes that.

Hope this helps!
[Nook Color General] logicprobe:
I had that same error 8 on Win32 Disk Imager, so I ran the SD formatter as suggested.

It was smart enough to tell me that the card was write protected.

I pulled out the card, and sure enough... DOH! :D

The card and adapter were brand new, so I never thought of it myself. :rolleyes:

The disk imager worked fine with it after I slid that little switch on the adapter.
[Nook Color General] download11:
thank you, run as worked for me.
[Nook Color General] Codak007:
That Fixed It

I downloaded the following and got similar results.

1st -SDFormatter v. 3.0

2nd-Win32DiskImager (oldest image I could find from launchpad) It worked like a charm.

I also used an old 2 gig microSD from an old cellphone with the 1 gig_clockworks3.0.2.8 image file. I could have used the 2 gig file,however, I wanted to make sure it would fit under my 1.83 gig threshold recognized by windows 7. Go Figure!!!

You guys really saved me on this one. Reading through the forum for about 3 hour straight came in handy.
[Nook Color General] levers:
Hi everyone!

I am brand new here and having trouble with Win32diskimager as well. I get the Error 8 every time I try to lauch the win32diskimager.exe file. (I've even tried the older versions, same thing.)

I tried running the SDformatter as well & that didn't seem to help.

Write protection is off.

I tried all the suggestions I've discovered searching for that error. Any ideas what I am doing wrong???

Thanks for any help you can provide!
[Nook Color General] jaromrnelson:
Make sure you have the correct device selected

You probably checked this, but I get this error when I have the wrong device (drive letter) selected for writing. It took me about a half hour searching for answers until I noticed I didn't choose the correct drive where my SD card was inserted. Once you see that, it's obvious, but the obscure error message was deceiving.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] grrmisfit:
those having card issues make sure your using card reader that isnt built in like in laptops etc.. i have a component reader and laptop and it never would work on the laptop but works every time on other
[Nook Color General] Codak007:
I concur, I had to switch to my desktops multi-card reader for it to work.
[Nook Color General] rehuxley:
I also had this problem and found a disk writer called winami85.exe and that did the job for me.
[Nook Color General] kafepuya:
Here are some things to know about using Win32DiskImager:

- Fist, format the card using Panasonic SD Formatter.

- Use Win32DiskImager v1. Version 2 & 3 gave me error 8.

- Save the Win32DiskImager folder right on top of \C (e.g. Computer >> \C >> Win32DiskImager Folder.

- Save the .img file you want to burn to the same folder as Win32DiskImager.

I had plenty of trouble making an CWM 3.2.0.1 bootable SD card, and that's what worked for me. Good luck!

I had the same Error 8 issue. I was getting frustrated. It had worked fine before on this laptop. And actually worked fine earlier today, but I reformatted the MicroSD to use for something else. Then I needed it for the nook again. I went to use Win32diskimager once more and I got the Error 8. The SD Formatter 3.1 fixed the SD card and I was able to get it to work. Thanks guys
