[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
im afraid so yes :( its not possible to do it from the external sd unless you have a steam kernel.

looks like your only option would be to do a factory reset in recover or re-flash through odin.. but you will lose your data..

your best bet is to just write down as many apps as you can remember you had, and maybe re download them after the flash 1 by one.

but all the stuff on your internal sd card WILL STAY INTACT. e.g pictures music movies ect

EDIT::: you can now access the market on-line so perhaps you check that to see if your apps show on there before you do the reset... I've not checked it out yet...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasahu:
My market on web looks good so that should not be a problem.

I was just told that I could have CWM by flashing a kernel that contains it.

If that is true I can do what you said earlier: do a nandroid backup + FR + restore

I except this to save my Angry Brids achievements that are in not on the int sd card but only in the app data.

Does this make sense?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasahu:
Replying to myself: It made sense.

I flashed a SpeedMod kernel to have CWM

- tried booting, but no success (as expected)

and then from CWM

- I mounted USB storage to back up SD card

- did Nandroid backup as well to make backup of the rest

Then Factory Reset -> phone could boot again

tried to only 'Restore data' from nandroid backup -> failed to boot

ok, FR again and get back the most from my 1 month old titanium backup

My is guess that some program with root rights corrupted something which made me unable to boot

What I learned -> backup frequently !

Now what remained is to get back my Angry Birds progress from nandroid backup :D

Thanks for help!

Is there anyway or any roms out there to port windows 7 roms to the nexus one...i currently was looking at reviews for them on youtube and was wondering if anybody would try or currently building?
[Nexus One General] XSafire:
Been asked for like 10 times already.

In a nutshell, it's impossible. The only way would be if Microsoft gave you the source code, which will never happen.

Also, before you ask, the HD2 got WP7 because it was already built on the Windows CE framework. Also, the HD2 can run android because android is open source, WP7 is not.

So yeah, never going to happen.
[Nexus One General] Calmplex2g:
thanks for info
[Nexus One General] mikesm1234:
There is just no interest dude

Not possible, not going to happen.

Hello,

I restore my original rom and I have only to remove the custom recovery menu to return my phone in original state. I want to return in original state because I need for waranty service. So can someone help to remove custom recovery menu? I think that my USB port on phone is brick and I have problem with display.

Hello I dont know if this question respects only the LG O1 but I am gonna start from here.

I had my phone on my desk and suddenly I found out that

the lock screen is gone (when I press the lock button the screen just turns off)

the home button was not working - responding alone

the airplane and silent mode were gone only power off selection existed when I had the lock button pressed

and all my calls were automatically reset.

I tried to reboot and remove the buttery and/or SIM but no luck. I dont want to factory reset at all is there anything I can do throw the ADB shell. Any place were I can look at
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pr_lad:
I am experiencing the exact same problem since late last night. In addition the Home button and Search button do not work (when pressed they illuminate the screen - since there is no lock anymore) however do not carry the intended function (of returning to home menu or searching).

Can someone please help! I have already sent 2 random (and one embarrassing :o) SMS to people on my contact list.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ljubisa_sk:
I know one easy way so READ CAREFULLY :)

1: find and install "Power Control Plus" widget from market.

2: Add Lock on/off widget to background and disable.

It's that easy

So this is just for the lock I will see something about other stuff u said.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pr_lad:
Thanks ljubisa_sk

Unfortunately the widget does not lock the screen - actually it has no effect nether this, nor other 'screen locker' apps in the market :(

My phone is branded and locked to Three Ireland (H3G).

Does anyone know whether there was some sort of OTA update rolled out automatically or something similar?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pr_lad:
I know this is old and the issue still remains.

However, what I have seen now is that when I put the phone on airplane mode, the screen lock appears and I can slide to unlock.

As soon as the airplane mode is off, I get back to the same symptoms.

Can anyone help please??? I am really getting annoyed with my phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] pr_lad:
but the phone is 2 months old only - I'd rather not void the warranty.

I was hoping for a solution here as I'm not in Ireland anymore to send it to the Three store.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IrocG:
Better void warranty, lg os is the most crappy thing I've experienced.after first inversion of void Rom I was stunned by it's speed and with the touchscreen fix you will experience new powers of this cheap phone.I've voided my warranty in the first month :). Good luck.

[About XDA developers] dazza9075:
ok, so over the last few days ive been thinking, is there a reasons why people keep posting the same question time after time. Then the other day over at the WP7 on teh HD2 forum i thought i might have an answer

yes this is an english based site, we all know that, no ones questioning that, however is there a a chance that people simply do not understand the english on the website its self, forget the threads, im talking the website.

so for instance, you type in a new thread name and it comes up with a selection of possible threads already out there, well, if your grasp of english isnt that good then perhaps you dont understand what that is going on about.

So i was wondering, is there a way to get the website to change to different languanges, just site, not the forums, posting a new thread would bring up the same list of alternatives out there but it would have a line or two detailing what users should try to do first, in there language.

yes yes a lot of work but the simple fact is, people dont read whats available on here, potentially because they dont understand it, the search isnt great, and if you dont speak or read english too good than your on to a bad start, then you will get a torrent of abuse from over critical members which gets everyone elses back up

anyhow just a thought
[About XDA developers] missparker76:
Hmmm ... I don't think it would change anything. We can all notice the same issues on our native languages forums so this is not a matter of people who don't understand English.

Same questions and threads are posted as people are just lazy and don't want to search. They think a forum is a place to post their own question even if it has been posted 100 times before, not to search. Just look at the number of threads that start with "Sorry if it has already been posted but I don't have the time to read previous pages or search the forum".
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
I have a Pioneer FH-P8000BT head unit which supports USB mass storage devices. On stock eclair, it would find my external SD card, where all my music is, and play the files whenever I connected my Captivate(USB settings set to mass storage).

Now, on Andromeda, it says "USB N/A" when I connect the device. I have tried every combination of USB settings that I can find. I checked the phone to make sure that it says "Mass Storage On" or whatever, and even tried turning it off.

Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

I can still play tunes over BT, but I liked the sound quality when playing on USB, and I like that my head unit displayed the song name and artist.

[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
Yesterday my volume down button quit working, luckily I could still get into hboot and flash the stock ruu to remove root. Took it to sprint, and the button had disconnected from the motherboard. Now I have to wait for a replacement. I was curious, how has people's experience been with refurbished evo's, because apparently that's what I will get?
[EVO 4G General] sup3rn0th1ng:
How did they test the button? I took my evo apart and it would take a lot for it to come apart from the board, maybe its just the button itself that broke there are like these little plastic flaps that can get messed up on either side of the button.

I have previously got a refurb from sprint it worked great nothing wrong with it at all. Depending on what model you have now maybe you will get an upgraded HW version.
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
I guess they took the back off and checked it, they said something was messed up on the board, not sure. They also brought up a good point about every refurb being tested, instead of just one per batch, like new ones, so I'll be optimistic. My evo is only a couple months old so I think its the newest hardware

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imlgl:
Think it could be down to the radio versions. Some people that are reporting bugs could be using a different radio version to what the working ones use.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Howard-:
I believe it is due to the fast 4.2 is pre overclocked to the max and causes instability for some people so they have to flash 4.1 as it is not pre overclocked resulting in no bootloop for them :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derjan23:
Ok, thanks.

But which version to use the radio on which it runs stable?

Sorry but i want understand ...

And sorry my english most time it is from google translate :o

If you want the latest radio look in the wildpuzzle thread they are in there and it is perfectly stable for use just flash the radio through recovery any kernel would be fine with the latest radio

I have successfully:( edited DATA settings when you dial ##3282# still not working.

I have also pulled out my apn settings with anycut AND put metropcs information in there but still nothing.

I dont have any narrows or showing 1x nothing just metropcs bars.

I have also edited wireless networks advance proxy and server (metropcs info) NOTHING

Please anyone have any Idea.
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
Hey is possible that nobody knows answer possible solution.
[Fascinate General] euklid:
You already flashed the metropcs prl right so voice/txt works fine?? What version of QSPT are you using ?
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
Yes I have talk and text already I am using 2.7 323
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Use build 215. 323 doesn't keep the ppp um and am settings. You will have to do mip with 323. And then finish with 215. Also make sure you are using a evdo prl.
[Fascinate General] euklid:
I was just gonna say to try this..what i do is first flash all the settings with build 323 but them u have to reflash with build 215. I use the 2004 prl is there anything newer for evdo??
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
Where do I find that 2004 prl and how do I flashed I tried to google it but with no good luck and how do I install it
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
I dont stay ontop of metro prls...should check out Howards Forum for that. Corolado (sp) isn't really up to date on prls anymore.

An evdo is a 3g mobile data prl.
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
Hey Jenisiz I tried the folowings, that you told me, but I still do not have 1x showing either 3g now I have prl 2004 Network Unknown Mobile network type 1xRTT Mobile network state: Connecting
[Fascinate General] euklid:
Try googling "metropcs 2004 prl" theres a site that has all the latest prls for all carriers then you flash it with cdma workshop...but if you say you aready have voice and txt working on your phone then your prl should already be flashed...just gotta follow the above steps for internet and mms.
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
I did the steps, but nothing.

Maybe i have to go back to stock dl01, and also flash baseband and kernel?
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
If the 3g icon isn't showing then you either have the wrong prl or flashed wrong.
[Fascinate General] euklid:
It shouldnt really matter what baseband you have just make sure the one you flash is compatible with the rom you're using..also you have to be rooted and have autostart.sh and the autostart.apk installed ..I believe theres a simple guide on this forum search for it "flash to metropcs instructions" if you cant find it let me know when im near a pc ill find it for you..also I dont think that metropcs has 3g service only 1x and unless you got a 4g lte flashed phone you can't use their 4g network..not sure if its even possible.
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
what I am doing wrong, I did first 323 qpst settings and after reinstallet and did 215 build all PPP also I added rom2004, maybe I should go back to stock dl01 than dl30 does my kernel and baseband have to do anything with this, I am very confused and frustrated please help.
[Fascinate General] euklid:
1. flash the radio/kernel/rom you want

2. flash 2004 prl with cdma workshop (for voice/txt)

3. Flash m.ip settings with qspt 2.7 build 355

4. Flash ppp settings with qspt 2.7 build 215 you must use this or it wont stick

5. In order for apps and market to work you also need to configure autostart.sh and u2nl and install autostart.apk from market (you must be rooted)

6. For mms settings i used anycut to do "mms provisioning" with metro servers.

A detailed instructions are below..just make sure you follow steps 3 and 4 above carefully or it wont work..everything else follow my outline..

[Fascinate General] euklid:
This is from m.ip tab in qspt right you created a new profile zero with these settings?..can you give me a screen shot of your ppp settings for um and an tabs??
[Fascinate General] euklid:
If you can make voice calls and txts your esn should already be added to metro.
[Fascinate General] siberian85:
euklid, I hope this help check pm
[Fascinate General] euklid:
in order to make web and mms work just use the guide below, use the exact same settings they used, it works on fascinate also. just make sure you use QSPT build 215 for the PPP config so that the settings stick after rebooting, the rest you can use a different build of QSPT.

Im glad u got it finally..:)
[Fascinate General] euklid:
Forgot to add that for metroPCS you don't need to tunnel data through a proxy anymore, the 1x data network is open now, so you can skip the autostart.sh steps,as long as you flash the PRL and your m.ip/ppp settings correctly web will work fine and apps. From my understanding this changed recently.
[Fascinate General] salvi:
I flashed a Fascinate today to MetroPCS in the same way that I flash them to Cricket. So, my cousin took it to a store in LA, I live in San Diego, but the bastards didn't know how to add the phone to the MetrcoPCS system and another store stated that the only way to add it was to reflash it. So, my cousin had to pay 60 bucks I bet just to get the ESN added to the system. WTH is wrong with those people?

Hi all,

(I'm reposting this here as no-one replied in the general forum.)

In the app I'm developing I will need to be able to send arbitrary files (probably many at a time) to known and previously paired bt-enabled devices. Is there any way to bypass the discovery dialogue and the devices list by somehow providing a registered intent with the address of a device, say, through a putExtra call? In other words, I will already know the bt mac addresses, so I won't be needing the extra discovery and user input.

Downloading an alternative bt app that is capable of this would also work for me. So far I've tried to use the services offered by both "androbex" and "bluetooth file transfer" but with no luck.

I'm developing for a Samsung Tab, android-8.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!
