[Touch HD General] Dauntless:
Hi,

I just find this confusing: Everywhere it says "upgrade USB drivers if you want to use USPL or MTTY". (Like here)

So that makes me think that you don't need to do that when you have HSPL, right? So how do I get my rom onto my phone? It has HSPL (did that some time ago, but reinstalled windows since then) but of course my laptop won't recognize my phone and it just says 'Serial'.

This is really something that isn't clearly stated in the tutorial or the wiki...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akeyfruitbat:
I installed RCMixHD rom on my desire last night and went through all the set-up without problem. My issue is that for some reason I seem to have all my wife's sms messages on my phone as well as her contacts. I have not used her SIM in my phone and not used her SD card (she has the Desire HD), the only thing I did do was connect to HTC Sense using her account not mine (as she was registered to one of my email addresses).

Does anyone know what data is stored in HTC Sense or can anyone tell me any other reason why this could have occurred?

:confused:

Hey there,

Is there a way to "sort/clean" the start menu. Usually the start menu ist collumnwise shifted. Is there a way to get the menu straight like on the iphone (bad word ^_^).

I hope its understandable? Below are pictures.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dubidu:
Not sure about sorting, but to change the layout you can use this:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mwalt2:
You can use another utility made by nullstring. It lets you sort by name, etc. and I think you can move the shortcuts around as well. If you feel like using custom icons, it can do that too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpsichord3626:
Hi,

The stock music player stops (actually pauses the music) randomly on my Samsung SGS, usually after around 30 mins of playback. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I'm running 2.2.1 XXJPY on an unlocked 8GB SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lycan_codex:
I certainly didnt have this issue. Are you using the headphones for listening to music?

Maybe, IMO, the headphones are loose and it is coming out. whenever you pluck out the headphones from the phone, the music pauses.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpsichord3626:
The headphones appear to be attached quite securely and most of my listening is done at work sitting at a desk. I'll try a different set of headphones though and see if they make a difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
I am getting this as well even without headphones plugged in. Seems to be random - it can happen within 5 minutes, or it can play for hours without stopping.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormtrooprDave:
This also happens to me, same with Power Amp, Music Mod, and the stock player. It just randomly stops playing every so often, it's very annoying.

I only listen through headphones and I have seen other threads that suggest it is something to do with the contact on the headphones but they are always securely fit in, and it happens on my brother's phone as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexAlien1966:
Most likely it has to do with the contacts.

Try to twiggle the plug a bit while listening to something. If music stops it's the plug.

I experience this issue with PowerAMP and the plug for my car stereo, when i just rotate it completely plugged in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormtrooprDave:
Anyone have anything else to offer on this? I know it's not a headphone connection issue as it happens when using bluetooth in the car as well. It happens with Poweramp, Listen and Audible so I guess it must be something to do with it killing the apps or something? It drives me mad!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
I was experiencing this issue a year and a half ago when I owned an HTC legend. It happened then on stock rom and also CM6.

I've owned my SGS for about 8 months now and have experienced this bug on every rom I've tried (froyo, KC1, KG3, now CM7).

I've looked at the log files when this happens and it simply says something to the effect of "cannot read from source" or "premature end of file." (I can't remember exactly). Strange thing is, the music is only paused, I can hit play and resume right where it stopped, so there is obviously no issues with reading the file. It also happens when I'm listening to podcasts in google listen.

I've learned to live with it.

Also about the headphones, I use the external speaker when rocking my baby daughter to sleep sometimes and it happens then too.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doud72:
Hi all,

I need a little help here. I have an European DesireZ (stock 2.2/1.34).

I've followed ianmcquinn's guide which is basically doing a temp root using visionary (I used r14) and then using gfree to get perm root. I did that with no visible issues and I also flashed an ENG hboot while I was there, then I rebooted.

Now, when my DesireZ boots, I get a while screen with the green HTC logo and nothing else. I can get into hboot fine:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.20000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

System Info says:

SN-HT0Axxxx
...

OS Ver.-1.34.405.5
CID-11111111
eMMC-unknown 2223MB 4554751 Sectors

I can get into stock recovery (Black screen with a red /!\) then using VOL-UP + Power get into the menu.

I've done a factory reset, wiped all caches and data with no result. Also did a Factory reset from hboot. There seems to be a progress bar there but I don't see it filling in.

On the windows side, I see the android 1.0 device while in hboot and the adb devices while in recovery but "adb devices" gives me my S/N followed by offline.

Tried swaping cables too.

Any hints on what may have gone wrong and what I could try next?

I figured if I could flash Clockwork recovery 3 using hboot I could flash a GB rom and might fix it ...

Thanks in advance, DouD :o
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
The red triangle that you are getting is the stock recovery what you need to do is

flashing a clockworkmod recovery as you said

so get the recovery image and put it in your adb folder (tools)

navigate to that folder and type this command "fastboot flash recovery <name of the file>.img "

after that on your phone go to recovery and flash the rom if you already have it on your sd card. if not you can download the rom put it in your adb folder and type this command "adb push < rom name> sdcard/ " obviously you dont need to type <> :D

and please be careful only flash recovery 3 and above if you are planning to install CM7 otherwise get the 2.5.1.3 recovery and you should be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doud72:
Hey bahmanxda,

Brilliant, that worked.

As adb wasn't too happy about my device to be listed offline, I was holding back from doing the fastboot sequence, it appears that it worked perfectly and I'm now running CM7 - 17.

Thanks a lot :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Glad to see you got it all working properly again!

Not sure what happened to cause your issue though. Had you tried any other rooting methods before? Did you make sure none of the options were selected in Visionary when you did the temproot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doud72:
Hi Ian,

that was the/my first attempt on that Desire Z.

Nothing was checked in Visionary, made sure of that. I tapped temproot, it did it's attempting thing, then came back to the menu and I pressed the home hey so I could start the Terminal Emulator.

At that point I think HTC Sense crashed because I had the white screen with the HTC logo on it and it slowly loaded my home screen. I was like meh, and started the Terminal Emulator and typed su, got the elevation request and a success, proceeded with the rest of the steps.

Then I rebooted (long press on power button, selected 'Restart') the device vibrated twice for a second or two then I got into hboot (I was pressing Vol Down). I admired the versions and checksums for a minute and selected reboot in the fastboot menu and got the white HTC ever since.

Once I did the fastboot and loaded CWm 3 I attempted a NANDroid backup and got a "E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)" error (tried CWm 2.5, ditto).

At that point I just flashed a new rom and everything went fine.

I think I might have broken something by pressing VolDown while restarting?? Anyhow the scripts worked great and I don't think anything went wrong there. Someone else with an 1.34 EU DesireZ should give it a try, just to make sure.

Thanks for the scripts and guide Ian, they really simplified the whole process and even when you know adb and the long way it's great having a nice bundle like that.

[Android Software Development] berserker_devel:
Since one on my last Android app caused lots of discussion regarding the "ad-checker" tool, today I'd like to share with all the Android developers the simple peace of code that I'm using there, with the hope that other developers could start using and improving it.

Here it is:

public class AdChecker
{
private static Boolean m_adsValue = null;
private static final String m_adsChecker = "your_ad_provider";	// example: "admob"
private static final String m_adsHostFilename = "/etc/hosts";

public static boolean isAdsDisabled()
{
synchronized(AdChecker.class)
{
if(m_adsValue == null)
{
m_adsValue = Boolean.FALSE;

BufferedReader reader = null;
try
{
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(m_adsHostFilename));
String line;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
if(line.toLowerCase().contains(m_adsChecker))
{
m_adsValue = Boolean.TRUE;
break;
}
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{

}
finally
{
if(reader != null)
{
try
{
reader.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{

}
}
}
}

return m_adsValue.booleanValue();
}
}
}

A simple usage of this class could be:

public class YourActivity extends Activity
{
@Override
public void onStart()
{
super.onStart();

if(AdChecker.isAdsDisabled())
{
// alert the user here

finish();
}
}
}

Please lets stop the "adblock" shame...
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
Brilliant.

I hate adblockers. I don't understand why people complain about an app having ads, if the ads are badly placed or obtrusive then simply don't use the app (or put that in the comments so the developer might change it).

Thanks for the code. I'll definitely be using it in the future :D

Fail.

1: Adblocking is not piracy.

2: Don't insult users by calling them bad guys.

3: Your message implies a demand for a system-wide removal of adblocking (your_ad_provider is probably admob). For most, the benefits of this outweigh your app.

4: IP address > obnoxious message.

5: I've bought apps with (blocked) ads before, simply to support the dev, or remove the still wasted screen space. Good luck seeing a cent if your app sticks it's nose where it doesn't belong, and pops up an insulting demand.

6: There are multiple ways around this.
[Android Software Development] KryPTiCk0d3:
Lol, any ****ty app that uses this to force feed ads will be deleted off my phone immediately. Want money? Make a paid version with no goddamn ads.

But this is also a catch 22, if your app is ad supported only with no paid version, its *probably* not worth installing anyways.

[Android Software Development] hooked82:
Thanks for this snippet of code! I'll be using this here in the next few days as I'm currently making the Ad-Supported free version of my app.

i understand the decision the dev makes here

@D4rKn3sSyS

LOL of the day: add blocking = piracy :D awesome logic there
[Android Software Development] KryPTiCk0d3:
Work is fine, get paid by selling your app, not force feeding ads and using fag code like this. Dipshits like you will never have a really popular app.

Be like a real dev and cripple the demo, make all the sweet features paid for. But then again, your one feature wannabee apps wouldn't work then eh?

And since I'm a pirate for ad blocking what does it make me when I download all your .apks from google and not give you a dime.

P.s before you get all seriously worried, I have over 100 dollars worth of paid apps, all paid for.

I'm planning to let rooted users to revert their hosts file.

If anyone is interested, I will share that snippet too.
[Android Software Development] InfX:
I've encountered this thread purely by accident, unrelated to what i was looking for, but i feel i just have to respond on this.

Let me just state a few facts here:

I am totally NOT going to delete my hosts file or revert it back to empty.

The 15 minutes Google gives you before you can no longer get a refund on an app isn't nearly enough to properly try it.

I am perfectly familiar with the world of "warez" and perfectly capable of Google searching (aren't we all ?)

Those few facts leave me, as a potential app user, with just 3 options:

Find a pirated version, use it to evaluate the app, buy the app later

Find a pirated version, use it, don't buy the app, keep using it

Just leave it alone

And i'll be honest with you, dear ad lovers, i am most likely to choose the #3, #2 goes next, while #1 is highly unlikely, especially considering the fact i'll be quite annoyed with the dev at that point.

Note that i have absolutely nothing against trial periods, as long as it's something like 15 days, not 15 minutes !!!

BTW, just FYI, quite a few of the apps i use on my phone are legal paid versions, while i've discovered some of those on the warez sites, yet still decided to pay for a legit version, so please, don't automatically categorize me as a pirate that wouldn't pay anyway.

PS: Thanks for your attention.

PPS: Would chmod-ing the hosts to 700 or something void this code snippet from working, but leave the system ability to look at the file intact ? First time i see an app that does this, i'll definitely try, just for the sake of it, and, obviously, post on XDA, or maybe even contact the ADFree app guys to code it in.
[Android Software Development] rogier666:
Trying to block junk filters will hurt developers more than the users. There's nothing to win, but there's a lot to lose.

(1) Future versions of ad blocking apps can spoof hosts files: they show one version to the anti-block code but use another version to filter traffic. Or they'll simply block the ad servers through proxies, either internal or external. When the anti-AdFree code finds a way around that, the ad blockers will use new techniques. Ad blockers have root access, anti-blocking apps do not.

(2) Developers who implement anti-AdFree code will see their market rating go down the drain because of 1* ratings from angry AdFree users. They'll be in the same boat as devs who made the mistake of using AirPush and now have their apps labeled as malware in the market comments. This drives away potential customers who may otherwise have used (and bought) your app.

And all that to solve a problem that doesn't really exist. AdFree requires root access, and rooting is a game that's only played by a very small minority of Android users.

There's a reason why Google does not circumvent AdBlock or boot AdFree off their market, even though they're the biggest advertiser on the web.
[Android Software Development] rori~:
Hmm..some good points here..

Sent from my Premium Xx
[Android Software Development] Fr4gg0r:
Then the ad checker snippet reads the file as root and if you deny root, the dev knows you are blocking ads.
[Android Software Development] rogier666:
Then the dev only knows that you want to keep the contents of your hosts file private.

Whether you do that to block ads or because you don't want apps to read the corporate server addresses in your hosts file is completely unknown to the devs.
[Android Software Development] InfX:
Oh, so now i HAVE to grant root permissions too ? Really ? You don't trust me, why should i trust you ? Any code that asks for root permissions for no apparent reason on my device is not going to run there, with or without ads, paid, free or pirated. You can call it paranoia, i call it better being safe than sorry.
