It just makes me laugh when I talk to people like that. Being an electronics technician I do it sometimes just to see what chunks of stupid come out of their mouths.
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
Since the Xoom is intended to be the reference development tablet platform by Google, it should be easy to root and has an easy to unlock bootloader, just like the Nexus One and Nexus S.

That being said, Motorola is Motorola... so they may do their usual Motorola thing and encrypt everything up. But I think the chance that the Xoom is easy to mess around with is pretty high.
[Xoom General] setite:
This is what I'm banking on. But if it turns out being locked down. I will be sending an e-mail to Motorola and Google with a picture of my return receipt and an explanation.
[Xoom General] jkurl:
I went to my local best buy today. I got there around noonish and I was the first and only person to pre order or even ask about the xoom.
[Xoom General] jacob.stewart:
Same with me. Infact im not even sure im going to get the damn thing. They were so unorganized and unprepared. I NEVER go on websites and do the ratings but for this i did. It was a horrible experience trying to get this thing pre ordered. 3 of the techs had to talk to each other to figure out what i was asking for. I didnt think the statement "i would like to pre order the motorola xoom" was all that confusing. I never shop at best buy but being as inpatient as i am i took the risk to get my hands on this thing as fast as possible. I just hope i get a call once they come in. As it looked im going to be the only call they have to make.

Did anyone else get a copy of their preorder or just a receipt?
[Xoom General] p-slim:
All i got is my receipt that says Motorola Xoom pre order and I have that $50 gift card. I was the 4th to pre order
[Xoom General] jacob.stewart:
Thats all i have also. The confusion among the techs had me skeptical. Hopefully my skepticism doesnt hold to be true.

Also praying for no locked bootloader. Hoping to be rooted within the first few days :)
[Xoom General] DaBoSSmon:
All I got was the receipt and the gift card as well. Got to our BB ~1300 to place the order and was the first to actually place an order, as opposed to people asking questions about it. Course our BB is in a town of ~50,000 (metro area ~150,000) so I was a little concerned they would even get any in for Thursday, they say they are indeed due in this week.

Did see the preorder paperwork she filled out.

Like above, they didn't know what they were looking for. The girl found it without too much wait though.
[Xoom General] jkurl:
Yep, ran into the same problem. The guy had no clue, the female was all over it. She knew exactly what I was asking for, went right to the pre-order sheet and got it done lickity split and she was hot to.
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
I got a copy of my pre-order form along with the receipt and gift card.
[Android Apps and Games] orangekid:
my CM6.1 ROM doesn't have the stock google news widget and I can't flash it via update.zip since at the moment I'm running Android via SD, anyone know of an APK?

I tried searching but couldn't find it.
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
where or how can i get activedeviceex?
[HTC Tornado] Hakim Rahman:
you should read the posts by Steve Maillet \ (eMVP \) at http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/...t-is-the-driver-API-call-to-register-a-device
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
im kind of new at this, i couldnt quite follow what he was talking about. im trying to manually load the wifi driver in my friends htc tornado .it suddenly stopped working after flashing a new rom.we tried 3 or 4 different roms before going back to the original rom but still the same result. in the comm manager it says driver not loaded. i wonder whats wrong since when we search for wifi the driver in the windows folder i.e tiacxwln.dll, you find that its still there.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
If the driver is not loaded at startup with a shipped ROM than the device is either broken or has no WIFI. The Tornado has two flavors, one without and one with WIFI. If the HW is not on the PBA (or broken) then the driver will not load.

Look up the IMEI of the device (*#06*). If it starts with 356298 it is a QTEK 8310 (with WIFI) if it starts with 356536 it is an O2 XDA Phone (no WIFI) or a similar built device. This is true for all such devices that have crossed my desk - but I am limited to Germany, so I have no clue about American (T-Mobile SDA there - has WIFI) or French (Orange SPV C600 - has no WIFI)

Best evidence comes from opening the device. Under the LCD there is the WIFI chip. If you see blank space and unsoldered contacts then the device has no WIFI HW.

Lets discuss this in the Tornado Forum :-)
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
it shows 356537.... i think the hardware might be broken since it worked before flashing new rom.i will ask him if has dropped the phone before
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sabre2:
Hi

My Hero has:

Android 2.2.1

Kernel Version 2.6.29.6-flykernel-11c

Mod Version Cyanogen Mod 6.1.0-Hero

Camera used to work fine but has stopped, for some reason. After a reboot it shows an image on screen from the lens, but when I press the shutter button the screen goes black and then offers force close or wait. If I force close, it's still apparently running (long home press or Manage Applications), but just shows a black screen. I've tried clearing the cache.

Any suggestions? I can't think of anything I've changed that might have stopped it from working, but there must be something!

Cheers

John
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I'm having the same problem after flashing Flykernel. Camera was working fine before, so I'm gonna try a different kernel. Pretty sure that's the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Success!

Change your kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sabre2:
Cheers! Solved.

Went from 11c to 12a and it's fixed. Thanks for the suggestion.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 53fireman:
Running Mik's 4.5 but I don't think this is ROM related... my 4G will connect with fair or good signal and everything starts off fast, but when I load a website (using Dolphin HD) the pages never finish loading. The top graphics or backgrounds load quick, but everything else hangs up until I hit "stop" then "refresh".

Especially on forum sites, the top graphics load, but the threads don't until I refresh. It happens all the time and doesn't make any sense, WiFi and 3G work fine.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burt Reynolds:
Have you tested with speedtest? Multiple locations?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
It's because of Adfree/Modified hosts file. Either revert to an original hosts file or use the following IP in Adfree: 127.0.0.0

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
This.

It seems 4g is affected by ads being blocked. I created a tasker widget that changes the host file from original to adblock. Everytime I'm on 4g I hit the widget to switch the host file and then load the browser. Works the way it should.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
link???????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
No link. I created it myself. It uses locale execute plugin and simply overwrites the host file with a normal one or an adblock one. The nice thing is I don't have to reboot for the host file change to take effect. I would have posted the widget instructions but tasker doesn't seem to be a highly used program here, or at least there aren't many "tasker profile" threads that I have seen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
haha guess I should read slower, where you said "I created a tasker widget". :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 53fireman:
I've tried in multiple locations, but haven't done a speed test. I will try changing AdFree from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.0 and see if that does anything.

thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bifter:
Today, I was caught out for the second time by the unintended SMS recipient bug, where you go to send a text to someone and the phone selects a totally random contact. Normally I'll spot it before I send but it's an accident waiting to happen. This time, I sent a romantic text to my friend instead of the wife, last time I sent a text to the ex instead of my wife! No damage done thankfully but it's totally unacceptable and I've had my phone since Oct 2009. At this rate I'll need a new phone before HTC fix this bloody issue.

When Google finally acknowledged the issue recently I raised (a third) support call with HTC who said they'd fix it when Google issued a fix. Recently Google have started rolling out a fix to 2.3 Nexus S users. Anyone have any intelligence when (if?) this is going to come to 2.1???
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
never heard of this problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coedy:
As above. I havnt heard of this bug effecting 2.1....

Ive heard it effects 2.2+
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberWalrus:
Hate to break it to you, but the hero is basically dead to HTC now. It has been superseded by so many phones now, HTC are never going to provide any further updates to it. The best you can hope for is a dev will integrate the fix into cyanogenmod 7, if they haven't already.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bifter:
I can assure you it does affect 2.1 and I've seen various other people say so in other threads. The mate I sent the wrong message to has a Magic and he says it affects him too - not sure what version of Android he's running.

I hadn't seen Google refer to the issue as specific to any particular revision but, if people have been reporting it since June and a fix has been rolled out to 2.3, it would seem to suggest a fairly generic issue.

Like many people I'm pretty disappointed with HTC but I may still stick with them for my next phone as I have an aversion to Samsung and Motorola.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
What carrier/country are you in? i also own a magic and still have never had this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bifter:
I'm on Orange in the UK, dunno what network my mate is on.

To be precise (because there are two bugs really) this is the one where you go to a contact details, select "Send message" and it takes you to the conversation thread for another contact. It would appear to occur randomly however it usually seems to affect texts I send to my wife. This could be because I text her more than anyone else. However once it has done this once it will affect that contact (and not others) until I reboot the phone. I reckon it's some kind of stack issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9unk:
I've had this happen once or twice. Wasn't a huge deal but yeah I've noticed it on 2.1 haven't on 2.2 though
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
May have somethign to do with the amount of conversations stored? i rarely have more than 3 due to flash nightlies EVERY night
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bifter:
Upgrade!

My hero received an OTA update today taking it to software level 3.36.405.1.

The only posts I've seen relating to this update indicate that it fixes issues to do with the Peep app. MF that, what about basic stuff like making it send messages to the right people?! Anyone know anything more about this upgrade?

Edit:

I noticed that the upgrade added a bunch of bookmarks to my browser, which I was thankfully able to delete. For all of yesterday I even thought that ordering my bookmarks alphabetically would finally persist but no, today they're back in the order added! I mean, if you're going to bother with an OTA update why wouldn't you fix something like this? At over 6MB I'm guessing there have been some other changes with this update, time will tell if the text bug has been addressed but I'm thinking this is just a HTC update rather than anything to do with Android?

Rules For Devs
​

</B>

You must only post beta, or completed APP releases. Projects and pre-beta releases should stay in the Software Development section so you can get input and help in the development process. When you have a beta, PM me and I will gladly move it here for you.

If you are planning to release your app as a paid app, there is a paid app section

here

.

You cannot post here if you have the intent to get more downloads, trying to advertise your app, or just to get publicity. IE, a corporation owned app that trolls forums like these just to gain more DL's, or a person that has no intent on using this forum to better their app(Just posting then leaving).

When you release you MUST follow the APP release template below to help users easily know what your app does, how it functions.

If you have any concern please, feel free to PM me any time. Please use the report button as well as I can instantly nuke any issues.

Any other XDA rules apply, such as with piracy, and such.

<B>

Rules for Non Devs
​

</B>

You must not post a thread in this forum this is for app releases ONLY!, WP7 General is more suited for you.

When posting in a APP release thread, please don't fill the thread with "Thank You" posts and other nonsense. The occasional thank you post is fine, but if that is most of the posts in the thread, it is not allowed. Provide useful feedback towards the app or game to help the dev improve his app. It is at the dev's discretion so if I am requested to remove posts because they are useless or provide no feedback, I will have to if the request is true.

Please don't post requests or ideas in here, once again, this is for app releases ONLY! There is a thread in SW development that is specifically for that, and it is there for devs to get ideas.

Any thread that is not an app release, will be closed with out warning, there are Rules Stickied for a reason!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ~~Tito~~:
App Release Template - DEVs ONLY

Template for Posting APP Releases​

Anything in red you have to have in your app release thread!

Turquoise is for optional and additional information

.​

Thread title:

[APP] {App Title goes here} -[R]- {Date posted} -

You must list a source creator, even if you are reposting this from another place and you are the creator you must post a source, and if this is the source of the app link this thread.

Download Link:(If this is a place holder just say "Download link coming soon".)​

NOTE: If your app is in XAP form, please make a big note when near the download link that it would have to be sideloaded or what ever different method appears to install XAPs.​
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ~~Tito~~:
DEVELOPERS WITH PAID APPS WITH TRIALS! - Please read this!

In the next few days, I will be moving your threads to the paid apps section. The reasoning is that apps and games sections are supposed to only have free apps, there is a designated paid app announcement section. This is not intended to rule certain devs out or scare devs into making free apps, its just for organizational purposes. The paid app section is only restricted to true developers, IE not companies just trying to make a buck, or someone just out for the money. The section there so devs can release their apps that cost money and cannot give their apps away for free.

So if your thread gets moved with in the next few days or hours or weeks, you will know why.

PS, if anyone would like to maintain a list of app releases of paid apps that can be found in the Paid Apps section, by all means go ahead :), I will sticky it.

There are instructions in the OP of the Amon_RA thread...

tl;dr (assuming you have the SDK installed, platform-tools is in your $PATH, you just downloaded the img, are now in your Command Prompt on Windows 7/Vista, and your ROM isn't so lame that it doesn't have flash_image):

adb push Downloads\recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img /sdcard/arr23.img
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/arr23.img

IF IT DOES NOT RETURN c00243750cc79e4a1dd4888db175b19f THEN STOP AND RE-DOWNLOAD, THEN REPEAT.

adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/arr23.img
exit
exit

If you don't get any errors, great! If not... Pray!

adb shell rm /sdcard/arr23.img
adb reboot recovery

[Nook Color General] cameraz:
I am really close to buying a Nook Color, but with my luck an updated model will be available shortly after. I would be willing to wait a couple of months if a new one was on the horizon.

Then again, I could get one now, then give it to my g/f when a new one comes out. :p
[Nook Color General] john10101:
i doubt it, ive heard nothing about a new model, in fact why would they release a new one? this one does everything they would want the device to do. maybe they would do something about the handful of design flaws.. but it does not appear to have created enough buzz to warrant a redesign. Not to mention the fact that this one is rather new to the market.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
I wouldn't expect a nook color 2 for some time, if at all. B&N is hurting pretty bad as a company (read: hemorrhaging money). I know they struck gold Jerry with the original nook (~30% market share for e-readers), but that still doesn't change the fact that B&N can't close stores fast enough.

B&N put out an ultra-fancy e-reader, one that is vastly over-qualified for what they wanted it to do, so there's lots of room for them to grow into as they release updates. As far as we know, the nook color (hardware wise) can handle both Froyo and Gingerbread with ease, and by the looks of it HoneyComb as well. Also, it was about a year inbetween the two nooks being released, so I would count on almost 1.5-2 years before we start hearing rummors.

I say, get one while you have the cash.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Other plans

I'm pretty sure that B&N is going to shift their goals to building out their Development platform before planning new hardware. Besides, they aren't making their margin on these Nooks, but rather setting up a somewhat razor/refill market that will (hopefully) get people into stores and more interested in their eBooks.

They might NOT be on top of the stack right now, but I'd go to B&N before setting foot in a Borders...
[Nook Color General] Admiralvic:
I'm sorry but by this logic... why buy anything tech based? I don't need to think about buying the Iphone 4, I know that 5 will be out soon. Shortly after that 6, so on and so forth.

You need to read less what HACKERS are doing, and more what people SHOULD be doing with a Nookcolor. In the E-Reader market, the nookcolor is the top of the line model. When you look at other E-Readers many people rather have E-Ink (or its at least a common complaint), Currently a real "Nook Color" base doesn't exist. A lot of the features are not fully formed, and completely designed. Many Magazines, do not appear on the market. Even a lot of the actual "E-Reader" aspects are not all there, but lets move past this.

For there to be a "NookColor 2" there needs to be a reason to justify a better version. Unlike Apple B&N cant really afford to do an upgrade like the 3g to 3gs. The screen is very high grade, theres no real lag reading, the E-Reader programs are way better than the default one, backlit, color, etc. The most an upgrade would have would be more a redesign, theres nothing else it needs that it doesn't already have. Things like more memory would fall short, 5 gigs is more than enough for the core function, and buying a memory card is not that much of a hassle.
[Nook Color General] Slashdot123:
I agree, no upgrade coming this year. Feel free to buy!
