[Atrix 4G General] perdurabo2:
First of all, thanks for asking this question in General, instead of the Development section.

Encrypted means that the data payload is encrypted and cannot be decrypted without a valid private key. These days private keys are virtually impossible to decrypt in any reasonable amount of time, even with thousands of machines helping out. So there are generally two other attack vectors for this scenario:

1) someone leaks the private key, or

2) There is a weakness or flaw in the encryption algorithm that allows us to bypass the need for the private key.

Signed produces a digital signature that is computed from the contents of the payload. If one modifies the payload, the generated digital signature would no longer match and verification would fail. It's very similar to when you see md5/sha checksums for a file download.

This is a very layman's explanation of what's going on and subject to pedantic corrections :) . For further discussion, check out the following links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography (Especially the section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography#Description)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

Hope that helps
[Atrix 4G General] qcom100:
Thanks for the reply!

So, is signed better news than encrypted? Sorry for my confusion but I'm not the best with understanding this kind of stuff. :p

But in the mean time, I'll be checking those wikipedia articles.
[Atrix 4G General] perdurabo2:
For the most part, it's better news because the payload can be examined for exploits.

PKI (public/private key crypto) is a good thing to have an understanding of because it's use is so widespread in the computing world.
[Atrix 4G General] qcom100:
OK, thanks!

I am no longer able to post questions or respond to questions in dev forums. What am I missing here?
[General Questions and Answers] kdelisle:
I tried to post on a HTCHD2 forum and the message I got was if you have less than 10 total posts, you aren't allowed to post. I found that very frustrating as I (i) had an answer for someone (which was educated) and (ii) couldn't ask a very specific question about a significant problem I was experiencing with the mod. So, now I'm trying to post 10 "meaningful" posts...argh.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Gents,

The rule was put in place for very specific reasons, in that new members were spamming the develpoment forums with questions that if they had bothered to search would have found the answers.

This nuisance was putting developers off; i mean what good is a develepor forum without developers???????

The correct place for questions is the Q&A forum NOT developer forums. You should ONLY be posting there if you are a contributing to the thread/development or be dev'ing yourself.

Trust this explains why, enjoy the forums and please be aware of what you are posting where.

Cheers.

Tim.
[General Questions and Answers] kdelisle:
Thanks, and I do understand the thought process. But, it's discouraging to see people with 300+ posts that are posting ill-educated and noobish questions, while I couldn't post a question which was valid and I had done my research...even the developers are sometimes poor about how the threads are used. By the way, likely most of the users here are gents, but not me...:> After posting some thoughtful replies elsewhere, I was finally able to post on the "proper" forum. I do think you are getting a lot of questions in the general Q&A which would best be addressed in the proper forum, but they can't post there...Anyway, have a great day!! And, thanks for replying to us.
[General Questions and Answers] Hawkester:
Okay, so you would rather questions in the Q&A section rather then in the threads dedicated to the ROMS?
[General Questions and Answers] TheDeveron:
The rule had said that it was applied to users that joined after a certain date but members that have been here for awhile but acquired new posts were also affected when it was put into place.

i have some questions about developing roms and i'm willing to learn and get started.

i posted my question in the Q&A Forum 19 Vies now answers on page 2 allready.

My question are directly pointed to develop roms for samsung galaxy tab. so the dev's who could help getting me started have to read but they can't since they won't look in here.

Great ^^
[General Questions and Answers] kdelisle:
Frustrating because frequently no replies. For example, I posted a question - 77 views, 0 replies. However, at least I can now post on the relevant forum! LOL.

have a great day...
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hey Guys n Gals,

Let me make this clear for avoidance of doubt.

Device specific forums generally have their own Q&A section, so if it is device specific, ask it in there.

If it isnt device specific ask it in here.

Dont ask general questions in developer forums for example "how do i root my xxxxxx" , they will get moved to Q&A or at worst deleted.

These are the rules, they are here for everyones guidance and to prevent dev forums from being cluttered with n00b questions.

Trust this makes things crystal clear, if not feel free to pm me.

Cheers.

Which hardware section are you talking about, officer?
[Click General] dom_b:
LOL wheres that then?

Anyways... sounds like you need a new digitizer. I bought one off ebay for about £12 and fitted it myself. You just need a couple of hours to do it. Heres one...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ORIGINAL-HTC-...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item19c0a8b6f0

When you do it, you have to glue the digitser to the screen surround if i'm not mistaken.

BTW

The connector you are looking at is the connector for the digitiser, but it folds around the back and comes out the side. You have to be very careful when fitting it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] hololight:
So my wife and I are coming from tmobile. There we had the 5 gig throttle but unlimited data. Verizon now offers unlimited as well. I'm still within my cancel period. Anyone hear of luck with getting ATT to give unlimited to a new cust if we threaten to return phones and cancel?

Sent from my Inspire '4g'.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
Yeah good luck with that. AT&T customer service is atrocious at best, and the order of the day is to nickel and dime the customers more and more while taking away more services. This phone has kept me on the network for a little while longer but before inspire came around I was more than ready to jump ship. My prediction... They tell you, "See ya!"
[HTC Inspire 4G] RBDH:
From what I have heard and read, they can only give you the unlimited plan if you've had it before and it was accidentally removed during the phone upgrade. And even those people are having a hard time getting it. Their system can't even offer it to you if they wanted since you've never had it. Again, this is just what i've gathered from reading here
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
I don't know if that loophole is still open, but.. Buy a used iPhone 2G and insert your SIM. After a little while you'll receive an automated text that unlimited iPhone data plan has been added to your account. Voila! Now you're free to grandfather that plan to other devices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yup, that still works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
You knew what you were signing up for when you switched, so I don't know why you would try complaining to at&t.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aridon:
The iphone 2g thing still works. I did it on a new line with a new sim with out issue. Not sure if it still works if you do it on a line that already had service. I had two lines with them fire years and opened a new one for the inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hololight:
Of course I knew it signing up... just thought I might be able to live with it...

Has to be a 2g iPhone? Just put my sim in and use it till i get that message and then switch back? Seems like a major oversight on ATT's part. Can I use a barrowed iPhone? What kind of timeframe we talking about.

if this is the wrong place for this SORRY IN ADVANCE

ok so after rooting my shift i followed all the steps got the recovery on there and downloaded a ROM and wiped everything and when the rom flashed it said error 7 instalation aborted so i hit reboot system now just to see what would happen because i did wipe everything so i was expecting to be stuck at the boot img..no problem was just playing around but the thing actually booted in a rom that looks 100% stock....what happened

even tho the ROM looks 100% stock it is def not i have adfree and esfile explorer added to app drawer now if its gonna flash the rom anyways why does cw 2.5.1 tell me its a no go with a stauts 7 i have even formatted my card to wipe it 100% and the same thing happens>?
[EVO Shift 4G General] RyteSyde:
when you "wipe" you're not wiping the rom. The data, cache etc yes. Only a rom install overwrites a prior rom. unless you format the phone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] everydaysince87:
yeah it must have just been an issue with the rom i was flashing because i flashed another one no problem thanks for that bit of info though
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
I had no problem flash nfinites stock rom...must have been something you did...not so much the rom...
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
People that flashed the base steel posted had similiar issues. E.G. if you were on cm6 and wiped, then flashed the base, you'd boot into a fresh cm6. The partitions were setup wrong, I believe.

[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Ok my fault...never took notice..thanks :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] HolyShift:
I just rooted for the first time yesterday so I'm fairly new to all this... is it common practice to wipe cahce/dalvik prior to flashing any ROM?

I've gone back and forth from the stock ROM to another custom Sense ROM without wiping and no issues. Is it only advised if something goes wrong? Also, is there an issue with just going into recovery and wiping cache when NOT flashing a new ROM (just rebooting to the same one I'm using)? Thanks for the help.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
Its good practice to always wipe. You may get by without it a few flashes. But eventually you'll be haunted by force closes, boot loops, etc.

Personally when I flash a new rom after the data, cache and dalvik wipes I format my boot, system, data and cache partitions manually via the mounts menu.

From experience, to truly see changes in rom updates or properly enjoy an entirely different one, this eliminates most problems before they ever manifest.

I don't think its a driver issue because it comes up as a removable disk no matter what computer i am on. It seems like it's on the phones side there is no notification like there used to be.

I don't know what happen i restored it back to another restore point i had it started working again! i don't know how or what happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
You've probably got usb debugging enabled. Disconnect your phone from the computer, disable usb debugging and then connect it again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enp82003:
The phone was always on debugging mode, and I still always got the USB connected notification. I think it was an Ap I downloaded that messed with the startup programs. I am not completely sure it is that but was the only major change in my phone since this started happening. So IDK glad its resolved through the restore and backup.

[Milestone XT720 General] stanleymoras:
Recording to SD

Hi by default whatever you record in the camera or the camcorder it directly gets saved to SD card and not to the phone....if you want to test it then remove the SD card from the phone and try clicking a pic or recording something...it wont work and will tell you that no sd card is present.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moley10:
hi guys,

so i have a serious problem, probably my own fault, but hopefully someone here can help me out!...

so earlier today my phone restarted itself, then when it came back on i lost all funtionality in my SDcard, then lost usb recognition to windows! so after reading all and many failed attempts i decided to use a ruu (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe) to restore it to hopefully working condition...

so it worked fine, it booted up, sim card was recognized.. but then within a few seconds my network operator is no long working, (works in old phone and my old sim works in this one) .. when i go to network operators, search networks, i click on orange and it just says 'your sim card does not allow connection to this network'

i have a unbranded desire, did i use the wrong ruu?!

any ideas guys?! im going insane here!

* oh and i formatted sd card to fat32, and now that just says unrecognised!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iceatcs:

how would it become barred becuase i returned to what i think is a default ruu?

I can see there is T Mobile, Vodafone etc but no Orange on list.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moley10:
ok, thanks... i have just noticed something else now...

when connecting my usb to pc, it isnt recognized anymore so i check device manager and it now displays 'qualcomm cdma technologies msm' in other devices!

did the ruu somehow change my phone from gsm to cdma?!

i have tried selecting gsm only in network options but my desire wont let me!

i have got to the point of installing terminal emulator but cant issue even the first command.. just says permission denied or directory nonexsistent!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
You probably need root, are you rooted again after the ruu? If yes first type "su". If not and unrevoked doesn't work maybe try visionary to temp root.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moley10:
no, i cant root because i cant connect to the pc to use unrevoked... are there always ways to root?

apart from the apk you just suggested which i will try now...

my network signal is now back on, my sdcard is now recognized again thanks to a code i found to use in fast boot...

just need to restore the usb functionality now!

Hello there,

I have my DHD now for about 3 months and thought I could add some accessories so I bought a NOKIA BH-604 Bluetooth headset. I have to admit amazing quality!

easy to use and connects/ pairs easily.

But I noticed something weird, the music falters randomly or whenever I move and thats killing me!!

I thought it was the headphone being incompatible with the DHD or the headphone being broken.

Once connected to a nokia phone I didn't have those problems also connected to a HD2 running NAND android cyanogenmod, the same, no problems at all

so could it be my phone :confused:

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

I've tried looking this up but most posts are about vertical scrolling homescreens or a vertical scroll bar which is not what my question is about. I wanted to know if their was a way to change the behavior of an Android device such that if it recognizes that I am scrolling along the Y axis or the X axis, that it stay such until I lift my finger. The iOS devices do this fairly well, but the android device seems to break off of an axis especially if you are moving you finger slowly. I've made some videos to clarify:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcelD87:
Hi all,

2 days ago I bought the amazing DHD. I had an HTC Hero before and was desperate to upgrade it ;-).

I always had my HTC Hero rooted and used all kinds of custom roms. I would like to do the same with my DHD. However, for some reason I don't seem to get root acces.

I've tried it to do it manually and with Visionary, but none of them seems to work.

Here some details of my software :

Android version: 2.2

Baseband version : 12.28b.21.60.120eU_26.03.03.26_M

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21 -gf3f553d htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1 Thu Oct 23 12:24:11 CST 2010

Build number 1.39.110.1 CL278886 release-keys

Software number : 1.39.110.1

Browser version : WebKit 3.1

I don't get any errors in Visionary, but for some reason when I type su in Terminal Emulator I get the unknow user root error. Also when I use Rom Manager to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery i get ' An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!

I bought the device on Ebay and when I start it up it shows me the T-Mobile logo.

Anyone that can help me out with this?

Thanks in advance ;)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubixious:
I believe that although it might be 'unlocked' from the carrier as far as requiring their sim card is concerned, it may still be locked to their specific ROM. I would say it can't help to give it a go.

That said, after installing Visionary+, if you got SuperUser access, the next step is to Radio S-Off and Eng S-Off the device, have you done these steps?
