[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thronka:
Not only that but it keeps that wonderfull 800k space free :) I am a space freak and like all free space and things organized. But the fact that if I screw up a flash - and for some reason I don't have a rom downloaded I can pop in my NANDROID backup card (which is stored in a safe under my foundation) and restore. That way I don't have to download update.zip anymore.

But I am seriously considering AmonRA - I just can't find a copy for my phone. Looks like it is for older phones unless I am missing something.

Does this phone support any other MicroSD cards 16GB or above?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
There is no AmonRA recovery for our phone, I don't believe. It was requested of him after we got s-off, but we don't know since he doesn't own a slide, and it's awfully hard to develop for a phone you don't have, haha
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
Well the easiest way to flash a recovery is to make sure you have CM7, or CM6, or separately put the files, MTD0 and Flash_Image in /Data/Local So if you have that, Here it is:

You just need to go to terminal Emulator type

Su

Flash_image recovery /sdcard/xxxx/xxxx.img

(Making sure you realize that the x's represent directories and file names)

For example I would put mine on the Root of the SD card and mine would look like this

Flash_Image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thronka:
Been flashed for a while now. I did not know this method but it is good to have and try when there is an update.

I have been tinkering with the ArayrayMod Revamped files since Arayray moved on to a MyTouch 4G. (traitor! LOL)

Looks like I may be going into the developing side of roms but I am just waiting for approval to post the rom for public viewing. a .32 kernel with Wifi calling included and thats really it - well retaining OC on that rom as well.

Much more tough than I thought doing this by hand - and I always thought my Unix Administration skills would be wasted. ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] 00r101:
So I have a no contract Sprint Galaxy Tab that I bought from Best Buy. When they activate it oyu are stuck signing up for the data plan at $29.99/month. I have had the phone for several months and I am tired of paying money for 3g when I am WiFi almost all the time and when I need 3g I cna always tether to my phone (I have tried this several times and it works great even after the 2.2 upgrade).

So I went on the Sprint site and tried to cancel. They said I had to do a live chat. So I did and the rep said the only way they would stop the plan is if they got rid of my phone # for the tab (why the tab needs a phone # even though it cannot make calls on teh Sprint network is beyond me).

So my question to you experts out there is can I drop the plan and lose the phone# and still have all the functionality I need to connect to the web via WiFi and get to all my Google apps and Market?
[Galaxy Tab General] jappetta99:
Yes. The wifi and the phone service are separate. I use my Tab as wifi only with no issue and tether to my phone when out and about also.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
To second that my gsm one even works without a sim
[Galaxy Tab General] docfreed:
GPS without Data Plan?

I have had 2 Galaxy Tabs (Verizon and now Sprint) and neither one worked well for GPS until I turned off airplane mode (which then showed that I was getting data somehow as I got 3-4 bars in the notification area. And when, airplane mode is turned off, the GPS gets a fix right away whereas when I don't turn airplane mode off, I cannot get a fix at all. I am, BTW, using Copilot Live USA.

Can anyone explain the interaction between the GPS and data mode - it's baffling me?
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
well if you hold down the power button, you have an option to deactivate 3g data.

i have a sprint tab, WiFi use only. I deactivated the 3g and froze those sprint apps using titanium backup so i dont get a "activate device" message all the time, and GPS works pretty good teathering with my iPhone. using the google navigation.

[Atrix 4G General] sl8125:
I just picked one up. Just thought if someone us interested they can pm me with the details. I just got it but I can't use it. It's not worth it too me. Still currently using my N1. ATT got me on a 4G data plan that is costing me more money. I just went back to my unlimited media net plan on my N1. Prob pick up a NS when its released. ATT can't detect that.
[Atrix 4G General] jamezr:
Why not just return it? You should able to get all of your money back and get the line canceled at no cost to you.......
[Atrix 4G General] sl8125:
I want to buy nexus s when its released. That's the only way I can keep using the data plan and I can't seem to get away from CM Rom. I don't think atrix will ever get one. Plus I am one of those plain android user. Can't stand blur. It's the best spec phone but dev is more interesting for me.
[Atrix 4G General] ApplCobbler:
Reported for trolling. This thread adds NOTHING to the forum, and threads like this and others talking about how much better their nexus is need to be bannable. Any other Atrix users here, would love to see you all start reporting these threads too, so the mods will actually do something.
[Atrix 4G General] AnyMal:
I just love it when people come up with all sorts of lame excuses to mask the obvious facts. If you bought the phone to resell - be honest about it, nothing wrong with doing that. If you truly don't like it then take it back.

Oh, and wrong forum.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Last night I was doing a fresh install of Sabayon and one of the first things I setup was eclipse and the Android SDK. I thought I should let everyone know that the new SDK moves ADB from the 'tools' folder to a new folder called 'platform-tools'.

So you may need to change your environmental variables (in windows) or .bashrc file (in linux) to reflect this change. Otherwise ADB won't work. Most developers will already know this but new people and non devs will find the instructions for setting up ADB wrong as far as the path is concerned.

Ex:

c:\android_sdk\platform-tools

or

/home/[user_name]/android_sdk/platform-tools
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Thanks, though this changed from v8 (2.3) of the SDK, when adb was also moved out of the SDK starter package and into an add-on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Oh, so it was changed already in a previous update?

I'm more of a terminal guy myself (and use .sh scripts in recovery) and it shows now:rolleyes:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
You mean root? Here is the thread.

For SIM unlock here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMSsecret:
if you have unbranded phone just go to settings/about phone/software-update

it will update automaticly
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassand:
htc provides the update automatically when you check for updates from your phone.

if you do not intend to root, it should be enough
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepwalekr:
Well the automatic update wont update my phone to 2.2 so i have to root it

hope ill get it right
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktotty:
Really no need to root, if it wont update over the air then you need to check your firmware and your branding as some providers such as orange will hold back firmware updates
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMSsecret:
rooting is only needed if you want custom made roms, for official updates from your provider go ask them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lman00:
Rooting + costum roms have some advantages... no more low internal memory, thanks to app2ext :) (that's why I rooted)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvn88:
Hi...

As you see, it is possible to flash the HD2 with Android, Bada and WP7.. but is it also possible to flash the IPhone Os on the HD2? This would be great!

mfg

kvn
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
No and for 99,99 % it won't be possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
theres already a thread for this... And is it possible... It depends how you ask it.... THe HD2 is powerful enough to run it but since iOS is a closed operating system theres no real way of creating drivers and such for it.. Seeing as its only ment to run on the Iphone/iPod and iTouch there all very similar to each other while the HD2 is not
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvn88:
hmm if the hd2 is powerfull enough... there must be any way to flash the iOS =). I belive in the chine hackers =)..

hakuchi18v what do you think is the best OS for the hd2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
Android and WP7 both work fine...

Android has a better support base with the HD2 since everything works right after it is installed while WP7 works but you have to activate it to use the live services unless you side load everything and at some point that becomes a nuisance..

I switch between WP7 and Android... To me android has the benefit of the amount of apps that are available and they have more quality and unique apps compared to WP7 panoramic apps that gets boring real quick.. Same layout just different name and content...

If iOS was running on the HD2 ill use it as long as you can use all the normal functions like on an iPhone.. Probably even use it as the preferred OS on it

But it won't and for now ill keep switching between android and wp7
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvn88:
how is it possible to aktivate ph7 on the hd2? Oo... i had it on my hd2 but i cant use the appstore... so switched back to android....

Ok but witch android rom do u use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
You need to get an activation key from Microsoft once its activated you have all the live services including the market available to you....

as for the Android rom I'm using the gingerbread asop... Its a vanilla rom.. Without all the crapware some of the other ones have...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvn88:
and how can i get an activation code?? And can i use them with the cracked wp7 version? Oo...

Can you give me a link to the rom u use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
To get the activation code you have to call Microsoft and tell them that you bought and HTC windows Phone and that its asking for an activation key every time you try to sign into Windows Live.... Some are saying that they're asking for an IMEI number and that they give them their HD2's and they give them the Activation Key while others say they arent giving them... SO it really depends on the person your talking to. but if at first you don't succeed try try again and try some more.. at some point some body will be more then willing

You know the Androids big Problem? I heard a lot about the weak security.

I dont know how much safety WP or Linux can provide, but Android seems to be very easy to hack and run spyware and something on it.

Yeah at the moment we can laugh about it, but in a few years we will cry, it won't be funny when a virus sents 1000 sms to your contacts and you have to pay it...

I have checked all settings and the phone has been reset, reflashed, etc. It was doing this with stock 2.1 as well. Normally I would bring it back but it's an ebay phone. It is most likely a hardware issue, I guess. I just need someone to tell me I'm screwed so I can move on. Thanks!
[Xoom General] schnoz:
I know this is an android only forum, but I have a quick question regarding android xoom vs ipad. I have only had android phones up until now, never an iphone. I played on an ipad over the last 2 days and I am wondering which would be better suited for a corporate environment? What I mean by that, is I plan on using whichever tablet I get for taking notes in meetings, adding events to my calendar quickly and other various "utilities" based applications that would come with a daily corporate life. I know the ipad has had a full year of apps being released over the android, but how long do you think the android will take to get an equivalent amount of utility based applications out? As somebody that has never owned an apple product before, should I just go with the android even though the market scene is lacking and not sure when it'll start gearing up, or should I get an ipad for my day to day use?

I am asking this here because I really wanted a xoom until I heard about the lack of applications that I could even use. The ipad was fun and has a ton of applications, but I want more of a PC like feel (which I think the xoom would give off). I have read that lots of you on here already have an ipad, of course I would wait for the ipad 2, what do you think?
[Xoom General] socomdark:
I would wait for what the ipad2 is going to offer and also see if the xoom gets any updates while you waiting for ipad2 launch. I think this will give you a couple months to decide if you have that much time. Are you needing things like coporate sync and exchange too?
[Xoom General] schnoz:
Yes. Both. It would be nice to sync up with my Google stuff, but I honestly don't use it that much. I would probably use that stuff more if I had an android tablet. I just really don't like the idea of having everything go through iTunes. But if the IPad would work better for what I need, I guess that is something I would have to overcome.
[Xoom General] strifejester:
One thing we are playing with in the office is Citrix receiver for Android. I am using it on my Droid X and in a pinch its great to get me Remote Desktop to my servers and the app from what I have seen is on both platforms so if you have Citrix I would look into that. There are other solutions such as logmein etc. One thing we are patiently waiting to see if it will work is using the HDMI dock connected to a monitor and the BT KB and using it that way. I would love to see some sort of mouse support added similar to what the Atrix is going to offer. I think accessories will be the driving factor in the future of either. Not a real definitive answer but its ideas we are kicking around hope they help.
