[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmholly:
I am trying to root my t-moblie mytouch 3g slide (2.1 update-1). I am following the guides from eugene373 Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702973 . I am able to get all the way to step 6. When I try to unplug the usb cable and then plug it back in, I am not able to see that it is in recovery mode. When I type in "adb devices" it still shows my device as being offline. I thought I would put this out there and see if one of the greater powers that be have run across this before.The device is showing the triangle screen at this point.

I am very appriciative of any help that anyone may have to offer on this. I am stumpped at this point.

Thank you for any help with this. I am a n00b but have a technical background. I think that what you all are doing is amazing.

Just wondering, I'm getting a nook soon and I was wondering which was the best

in your opinions.
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
TKB Thumb Keyboard
[Nook Color General] barbo:
+1 for TKB Thumb Keyboard

I used stock then tried better keyboard but didn't care for it much. Stock works just fine.

SlideIT works for me. Needed an easy copy/paste function and it works great.
[Nook Color General] mcp2009:
Thumb Keyboard is the best. Next would be stock B&N keyboard

I like SwiftKey. Once it learns your writing style it can be very quick for writing document.

I love the droid x multitouch keyboard!
[Nook Color General] k8108:
SlideIt is similar to Swype, which I love but isn't available on the Nook.
[Nook Color General] nookierookie:
I use slideit as well. Once I taught it the words that I use for school documents, this thing became awesome for editing and revising on the go - but maybe I use this thing for writing more than others. Dropbox is crucial here as well, paired with the Quick Office HD from the Notion Ink ports.

Swiftkey Beta (hopefully releasing to market soon) is bad ass on the tablet. I can bang away and besides me hitting the silly B&N shortcut and getting off in the wrong place, my typing is magically fixed and it's almost always dead on. You should see my typing on the tablet when I'm in an app like irssibot where it doesn't autocorrect.... AMAZING how much it fixes...

Behind it, Smartkeyboard Pro worked really well, I actually was in the process of switching to it from Swiftkey as it does a really good job of fixing when I'm jabbing away at random keys at figuring out what I really meant to type, but then Swiftkey's beta one-upped 'em.. Ah well. :)
[Nook Color General] mrschmitz:
I am running froyo 6.6.6 and i just installed the Notion Ink Adam keyboard that is linked to in a couple of threads. I have to say this is the best keyboard I have used so far, I even like it better than the gingerbread keyboard i was using on eclair.

I just started using the Honeycomb keyboard, as I put HC on it yesterday. Other than that, I always used Smart Keyboard Pro. I use it all the time on the Dinc, but I didn't like the way it looked scaled up on the NC.

[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
A) Which version of Android are you on?

B) How?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I voted "Other".

I'm using Ultra Keyboard, which is by far the absolute best keyboard.

It has the option to tap-type or slide interchangeably without skipping a beat;

- custom dictionary access;

- cut/copy/paste;

- the option to display BOTH (or none) arrow keys and digit keys on the main screen (i.e. without fiddling with symbols keys etc).

The last option is downright AMAZING as it means I don't have to use SoftKeys for up/down/left/right.
[Nook Color General] Biff Rosco:
I am using SwiftKey. I bought it for my Evo when it was $.99, but use Swype on the Evo now. I'm anxiously awaiting the SwiftKey tablet keyboard.

[G Tablet General] a2drew:
I have been following similar threads, but there seems to be just enough that is different with my Gtab I thought I would try a new one in my last ditch effort.

I have most been runnung Tnt lite and everything worked fine. Then curisoity got to me and I installed the Cyrogen 7. I was having issues with gapps and followed instructions until it wouldn't boot past the BitTrix presents....

I was able to get into CM but after all the formarts and such from the intructions on gapps I no longer had any backs or recovery files.

Then I tried the NVflash. First problem is that I could never confirm I was in APX mode. My Linux CentOS machine could see the gtab but the NVFlash would not run. So a pal of mine who is really good with Linux grabbed tnt lite and was able to directly transfer it to the SD card.

Everything looked hopefull until just before the home screen should appear it powers down. then I when into CM and re-installed tnt. Same problem so I go back to CM and try to mount data. I get an error that it doesn't exisit. then it powers down in CM. Each time I go into CM it shuts down sooner and sooner.

I opend the device up and completed a manual reset to no sucess. I hear people say its really heard to brick these things. PLEASE someone help show me that I am not that talented!

OK, i am no expert here but have you tried just putting a new ROM zip file onto your SD card and rebooting into recovery mode Power & Volume + and choosing the zip file you just copied over?

Works for me everytime but then mine has never died.

[G Tablet General] a2drew:
Through all the message boards I read, not one single person including myself thought of the most basic answer.......The battery was dead :eek:

I work on computers for a living and this is yet just another example of starting with the basics, no matter what you think your skill level is.

Once charged, I was able to read the zip off of the card. Flashed and everything was great. Until I dropped it, literally minutes afte I got it working.

I am starting to think I wasn't meant to use this tablet.

This new google maps update is destroying my battery. Is there any way to revert back to the last update, but not get rid of all the updates? ><

Anyone else notice this? I havent even opened the maps app and its taken 36% of my battery versus everything else on my phone. More than the display even.
[EVO Shift 4G General] darkray77:
I noticed this too. My phone was getting very hot and the battery was draining quickly. When I took a look at the battery usage info, it said that google maps had used something close to 40% of the battery. Maybe it has something to do with Latitude? I'm going to make sure I'm logged out to see if that makes a difference.

Also, looks like this isn't just limited to the shift.

[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
As far as what others are saying, it isnt related to lattitude, at least as far as making sure you are logged out.

People have logged out supposedly and have the same problem. It makes no sense as I have always been logged into lattitude and never ran into this problem in older versions.
[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
This probably does the opposite of help you but I installed the update the day it came out and haven't had any issues. It pops up in ATK every now and then (I just use it to watch things my phone seems to run way better when I'm not killing apps all the time) but it hasn't even showed up in my battery usage unless I use it for something of course. Even then, I've seen nowhere close to the battery usage you guys are seeing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
You'll just have to kill it on reboot, or after you open maps. It's ridiculous.

Haven't noticed my battery dieing any faster, but google maps seems to want to always run. its starting to get very annoying that every 10 minutes i have to kill it again. why won't it die and stay dead till i run the program.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
If our 4g comes from Clearwire, which is part of Sprint, apparently, does anyone know why the roll out is so slow and selective.

I have had clearwire in my area for a long while now. It there something special Sprint needs to do to turn it on? Or is it completely different?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Sprint uses its own bands (700Hz if I recall) broadcast from clearwire antennae
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
If you are a clearwire subscriber, it is possible to use your epic on clearwire. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
I'm not a clearwire customer, but I saw that the other day, and tried to find this answer myself. I assumed Sprint's 4g was diff somehow and that was why, but if you can connect to any clearwire with the 4g, then....what gives?

Are those people technically connecting via wifi, and not 4g, or something like that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
According to wikipedia:

The information is dated (seeing how they are awaiting the digital roll out), but it says that Sprint and Clearwire both use the 2.5 GHz band. Which would explain the ability to for the Epic's 4G to work on either network.

And iirc, the high frequency is the reason WiMAX has poor building penetration, which would not support 063_XOBX's claim that they use the 700 MHz band.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
There are numerous threads in numerous forums about using SOC with the Streak.

Summary:

Drivers – make sure they are correct for your system.

Run SuperOneClick from an administrator account or as an administrator

Make sure your phone is in USB debugging mode

If you have an anti-virus app on your phone turn it off.

You may have to turn off your anti-virus on your computer.

You may need to go into settings on the phone and un-mount the SD card or physically remove it during the root process.

Try different ports on your computer. Most have better luck with a port directly on the mother board.

Less problems are reported with 32 bit systems and WinXP installs.

Shut down all other software, disconnect other devices from USB

Try different versions of SOC. I believe that I used 1.53, others report success with 1.55.

More detail here
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
I totally agree with the above post, 1.5.4 worked for me, just be diligent, took me a few tries to make it work, I closed all applications also to be sure, only SOC open. Just follow marvin's instruction and you'll be good.

Hi guys,

So I scratched my screen, and one tried using Displex to get rid of it.

After many many minutes sent last night and tonight, I've given up hopes of Displex working, or of finding a way to get rid of the scratches.

So, I'm looking for a digitizer now. The cheapest ones I can find are over 30 dollars on eBay.

Know any other places that sell them at better prices?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adixme:
Hey you should just goto your dealer or carrier from whom you purchased the phone and ask him to replace the digitizer i think its better to pay a little more than getting a cheap digitizer as it may just spoil your entire desire experience or if the scratches are bare minimum you could put a scratch guard on the screen and continue using it. i would recommend contacting HTC service center or your dealer if the scratches are really deep than purchasing of e-bay or something.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Or if it's insured just oops dropped it!! -- make sure accidental damage is covered by the insurance first lol

EDIT[] the ones from Ebay are sometimes for cheap chinese clones so better to go to official place if this is the route you are going to take or wait for someone to respond that knows a reputable ebay seller :)
[HD2 General] auximinies:
Made the rather stupid mistake of driving off with my phone sat on the roof of the car. Got out of the car park to the traffic lights and thought "oh bugger".

So back into the car park I go expecting the worse. And after retracing my exit route there was this black leather thing off to the side on one of the bends. With tyre marks on it.

I picked it up fearing the worse. And with the official HTC leather slip case seemingly welded to the phone I really thought it would be a mess. And yet as I slid the phone out of the case I saw that the screen was completely intact. With all the buttons working! And a quick check showed that aside from a small crack on one corner of the case (presumably where it hit the concrete!) its still pristene!

So bravo HTC. As my mate put it on Facebook "an iphone wouldn't have survived even with a case!!"
[HD2 General] lude219:
There's like a quarter inch cushion between your phone and where the seams of the leather case meet. That more than likely embrace the fall. I'm glad your phone is still in one piece!
[HD2 General] Bourdain:
After about a year, the leather case loses its "traction", so the phone will easily slip out of it. I was walking up some pathway and took my phone out of my pocket. It slipped out of case and went over the side of the path to the little walkway about 14 ft below.

Smack. Face down on the concrete.

And all it suffered is a little chip to the glass face right by the speaker. Not a scratch nor dent anywhere. It really was quite amazing. But after having suffered a few knocks since, I really don't have the same heart in mouth reaction anymore.

Dear all,

I love my Streak 7 so far except for the disappointing battery life.

But I think if I can find a good battery life saver apps then keeping this device is sure for me coz I love all other aspect of it.

I tried JuiceDefender which caused unstablility from time to time (FC, freeze phone, never wake up , not able to turn up data connection etc)

Anyone would recommend some other battery saver similar to JuiceDefender please?

Appreaciate any of your inputs!
[Dell Streak 7] gokrisgo:
Superpower?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/superpower-xda-beta-v0-75/nl.morose.superpower

Don't know if that will work. it's what I use on my phone though
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Thanks

After a couple of days testing different optimizers, (you know, you need to have at least a day to see if it really works for most of its functions),

JuiceDefender is generally out for current Streak 7, maybe their future updated app will work better.

It costed me

1. unstable OS (blackscreen, never wakeup, not able to switch from airplane mode to normal radio)

2. Causing data connection much slower to switch. Symptom: when I unlock the screen, after seeing the 4G sign appearing at upper right corner, if I go to market to select an app and click install, it will take very long time before you see it starts downloading.

So far SuperPower Beta looks much better working on this phone. But the CPU function is not working with Tegra Dual Core.

And it does not have the option to switch to airplane mode completely, so the effectiveness of saving juice is affected.

But that's fine with me.

2 hours light use costed 4% of battery. I am happy with it.
[Dell Streak 7] RootaToota:
I use automatic task killer. Straightforward. Kills tasks when screen shut. Easy to use. Supersonic, Glacier and now Streak 7 consistently stable.
[Dell Streak 7] sasha2000:
My vote for

1>automatic task killer ( or Android task killer #a2sd lowmem-aggressive )

2>+ Autostarts to remove not used services that will pop up again even with task killer

3> + Airplane mode

5>+ location by wireless ; uncheck gps
