[Droid X General] momentarylapseofreason:
Longtime HTC user here (currently using a Nexus One). Figuring it would be very little issue to root my buddy's Moto Droid X, I set off on a trial of these "one click root" apps available.

While it seems I was able to get root access, I couldn't get a ROM to install due to signature errors. The reason I say I was seemingly able to get root was because I was able to access ROM Manager without warnings that I didn't have root.

However, when trying to use something as simplex as the WIPE function, it only rebooted the phone. Attempting to install a ROM was fruitless as well.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit with all the Moto drivers. I have attempted to use all of the different USB modes. I can ADB into the phone, but nothing else seems to work correctly.

I was about to switch carriers and buy a Moto phone. This just sold my N1 back to me. I loathe this proprietary garbage.
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Well there's no need to connect the phone to the pc. Use z4 root then you need Droid x bootstrap from the market to gain access to clockwork. Rom manager wont work.
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
You can also download the Bootstrap Recovery for free from Koush's website.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html

Once you get the Bootstrap installed you have to click the button to reboot into recovery. This one doesn't replace the stock recovery, so you have to specifically reboot to Bootstrap Recovery. Once there, MAKE A BACKUP. Then select Mounts and Storage, Mount System, back out and select Install zip from SD, disable signature verification in that menu, then Choose zip from SD and you're done. Most ROMs require a data wipe to boot properly.
[Droid X General] momentarylapseofreason:
Thanks guys. I will try this tonight when my buddy comes by again. Really appreciate the help
[Droid X General] momentarylapseofreason:
About to dig in on this now. I know it will be debatable, but what is the most refined ROM out for the X? He doesn't care about the flashy stuff, just wants to get his phone more reliable than it is stock.

Issues he has mentioned with the stock ROM:

*Slowing down of internet (clearing cache seems to help)

*Lock ups while trying to hangup/calls coming in.

*Lagging while texting to the point of a full lockup.

So a ROM that has focused on these issues would be grrrreat. Thanks again folks!!
[Droid X General] hullie10:
What's his take on blur? If he doesnt mind the blur then i would suggest apex 1.4... you can add the blur you want, etc and to me it has the best battery life of the roms I've flashed on my phone...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mithun_srk05:
Hello all,

I am facing a weird problem, ma P500's touch screen is not working properly when plugged in to the charger. The touch recognized by the sensor, is not at the exact point whr I touch. If I touch on clock, the notification bar gets pulled down and so on, this happens only when I plug it in to the charges, else it works flawlessly.... Has anyone else faced a similar prob???? Please help! :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
I had a similar problem and it was a bad charger. I replaced the aftermarket charger that I originally had with an OEM LG-branded USB charger and the problem went away. There are many posts online about this problem happening with all sorts of chargers, so it seems like something that can happen with chargers and you just need to get a different charger to fix the problem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mithun_srk05:
Neil,

Thanks a ton!!!! Minutes back i was suspectin da same, cuz da touch response was flawless whn i was charging thru USB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark wild:
This is a question, that is very important for me.

...

You see, this SGSII phone thing'y is HOT as HELL. It is everything I want in a phone... BUT STOP...

...

NO HDMI out?

...

The original SGS has one and I really don't understand why they took that away from the SGSII.

...

I heard that there is a way to get HDMI mirroring with a software and a micro-USB to HDMI cable! Is that purely a software question or must there be a hardware thing to?

...

Please... respond to this, this is very important.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
An MHL hardware connection is needed (look up MHL in wikipedia), fortunately in the official Samsung specs from the press release it says that it has MHL. A video from MWC from someone representing the MHL consortium also says the SGS2 will be the first device supporting MHL.

I'll feel better once I see someone demo it, but Samsung have officially announced MHL capability for the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark wild:
!

You think Mobile High-definition Link??

Yes... I want to see a demo to. It would be nice to have this mirroring capability.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
Something does confuse me about MHL, if you have a TV which isn't MHL compatible and you don't want or don't have the adapter, can you use a microUSB-to-HDMI cable and just not have it charge at the same time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark wild:
doh...

First of all... DO YOU REALLY NEED a HDTV that supports MHL??? No Games on the big screen? DAMN!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erahk64:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dextrosan:
MHL - WOW - Love the idea!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
Thanks, but I've seen that video and it doesn't say if you can or can't use it without the adapter
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
It says you can use it without the adapter, but your device won't be charged.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celtichazard:
My friend you can use with any HDTV but you dont have charge of your battery device except if you buy an adapter MHL to charge and transmit signal on the same time. But how last your battery can provide of energy?

In my Xperience In my IPad I see 3 Movies via Wireless Apple TV and my battery show 30 % remain. In the case of SGSII at least You have enough power to see a movie with Screen turned Off (SGSII)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark wild:
!?

Are there any news about a mirroring capability on the SGS II?

...

I've been searching the net for some confirmation, that there is going to be a possibility playing games on the SGS II connected to a flat screen TV, but couldn't find anything to confirm that!

...

Are there any news???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkusPO:
surely if this was possible, it would have been all over the exhibitions and videos of it would exist?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erahk64:
Or the SW used for demo phones didn't have the mirroring properly implemented yet and the option was not included in menus.

EDIT:

I have not seen any demos where SGS2 is connected to a TV via MHL/HDMI.

Is there any previews or videos where they use that ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
No videos yet, the question of whether mirroring is on offer remans in the air.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark wild:
!

Funny... cuz... The first SGS had mirroring, if this one has it not, than it is a kind a regress!

...

Sorry 4 my English.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Yep, I'd be very disappointed if this can't do mirroring, I love using it with my SGSI and would find it hard to part with (use my SGSI on the tele with BT keyboard and mouse, excellent experience, only problem is only SD-out).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rallias:
Ok, so I have tried several different ideas that people have suggested to this solution. I have installed PDANET for the drivers, I have rebooted both computer and phone, I have turned USB debugging on, off, on, I've run the root.bat file several times, I've switched sd cards multiple times, I've toggled their state, but I can't get ADB to detect my slide. Any help?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlswaney73:
assuming you're using windows, I would check device manager and see if android phone is listed with no errors... If so I would uninstall the usb host controller and scan for changes letting the system update it
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTownBrewer:
You can also try using the drivers from HTC Sync instead of PDANet (uninstall pdanet, reboot, install htcsync then plug phone into computer).

[Android Apps and Games] gmchardy1970:
Can anyone please help me. I own an unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) which I originally purchased from T-Mobile in the USA.

I have recently moved to the UK and had the handset unlocked. Does anyone know how to remove the US version of the Android operating system (which I am guessing is specific to the T-Mobile Vibrant) and replace it with the UK version of the Samsung Galaxy S operating system.

Additionally the GPS is not working on the phone in the UK however works fine when I am back in the USA. I spoke with both Samsung and T-mobile and neither were much help. Someone did mention that I need to get the GPS configuration codes but have no idea how to find them let alone install them.

Please help me with this as I am going crazy.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] customyota:
For the GPS, you should be able to download a GPS app from the market such as GPS Status or Faster Fix which will download the assist data to help you out. As far as a "UK version of android," I think you're confused. There's no US or UK version. The Android on your Vibrant is the same Android on the i9000, but each one is optimized for its hardware. You can't just switch them back and forth and expect it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] gmchardy1970:
Thanks but I've already tried using the samsung app GPS restore and it still doesn't connect with the satellites.

As far as the operaying system is concerned I agree that it must be optimized for the hardware as my Vibrant (which is obviously optimized for T-Mobile in the USA). When I look at my contacts all of the phone numbers are displayed in the US telephone number format (xxx-xxx-xxxx) which is different from that in the UK.

I guess I am just going to have to buy a UK cell phone to be able to connect to the satellites here in the UK.
[Android Apps and Games] FloatingFatMan:
That's just your locale setting. Install MoreLocales2 and setup one for GB, and you'll get UK English instead of US English, including UK formatting.

As for GPS, there is no reason why it wouldn't work in the UK; it's the same satellite network! What software are you using?

[Windows Phone 7 General] rudigrobler:
Here is a list of the top 10 requested features for WP7, What would you add or remove?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Top 10 according to whom exactly?

Half the items on that list are either just around the corner or confirmed for release later this year, the other half seems like they're just listed without any thought going into why they're not already there or how they should be implemented.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
1.Copy and paste. - Coming in two weeks

2.Flash and HTML5 - coming later this year

3.SkyDrive sync with Office Hub - coming later this year

4.Add a screen capture feature - don't need this, myself

5.A proper Youtube app, not the poor web version we have now - HTC have produced one, it's very good

6.Allow search of Marketplace by individual categories (apps, games, etc.) as opposed to combining them. - coming in two weeks

7.Separate volume levels for headphones plugged in and not plugged in - don't need this, always use bluetooth

8.The camera app should save any settings changes you make - it just resets them now - Don't want this

9.Add Compass API access, navigation apps are useless without it - coming later this year

10.Spotify App - Don't want this, never stream to my phone, limited data plan

So I would remove all of those and add;

Turn by Turn navigation

Tethering
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
this thread is very much liked the pinned one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844117

please just follow this thread, rather than having this new one going.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
1. Yep, coming.

2. Long time to wait. Flash is not good on mobiles. If flash comes baked into IE (can't uninstall), I'm going to iOS. That will be a showstopper.

3. They need to add the capability for Zune to transfer documents from a folder on yoru computer (subfolder of you Documents Library folder) to the phone. Without this, and bein tethered to the cloud... it's still a big weakness for WP7. SkyDrive integration is not a big thing, and arguably should have been there at release. There's no reason for this not being there already, IMO. It makes the office hub a bit useless if you aren't a SharePoint user.

4. I don't need this, but others may need it. People who do training or write applications and want to take screen shots on a device instead of in an emulator may want it.

5. HTC YouTube App is actually pretty terrible. Search only works 1% of the time, and without search it's borderline useless because you cannot log into you YouTube account with it and view you subscribed channels/favorites/your own channel. It's worse than the HD2 YouTube App. Google needs to develop these apps for WP7, but I doubt they will... The Android YouTube App is about 50x better than this piece of crap.

6. Yep, coming, and badly needed.

7. "I don't use it, therefore it's useless." God... Selfish attitudes are quite the FAD here...

8. "I don't want it, so therefor it's useless." How about this "if you don't want it, STFU and simply don't change the settings." Who seriously records VGA video these days...

9. It was a fail to not have this available at release.

10. "I'm too cheap to buy a high cap/unlimited data plan, so I don't care about this." not gonna comment.

Bing needs Navigation ASAP, and Tethering is needed, yes.

A first-party Windows Live Client is needed - integrated into people's hub with presence info and push notifications (iOS has a Microsoft-developed Messenger, WP7 doesn't... laughable).

Ability to transfer Documents through Zune to the phone. This is badly needed. SkyDrive isn't enough.

Thanks in advance..

i can't say it's simple but it's good and have batch support :download here

n oh it also support Nvidia's Cuda tech,converts 3 hr movie in 8 mins :D and better converts the video @ phone resolution only : 400x240

if that resolution is less then try 720x480 (video size will be higher)

Edit:Choose Full Edition

[Galaxy 3 General] -Majkel-:
I just don't want to start new Topic, so I wrote here. Some days ago I used any video converter, and my films on galaxy 3 was terrible quality and there was wide screen, I converter it to 400x240, When I watch you tube in HD all films are soo good quality. I just want to watch films just like viedos on youtube. Any one know how to convert it ?
[Galaxy 3 General] Gurjot95:
Quality doesn't depend only on the resolution. It depends on bitrate. Increasing bitrate will definitely increase quality. For default avc has very low bitrate. But you can increase it manually. Check properties of any video of same resolution and note it's bitrate values and other detail and put it in it's video details before converting.
[Galaxy 3 General] lemoon:
Or try the aneesoft, support batch conversion and have many preset for different device, don't remember if it have galaxy 3, but you could get the free trial have a try first.
[Galaxy 3 General] sanjay.july:
use allok 3gp video converter
[Galaxy 3 General] fallensoldier:
imtoo 3gp video converter works well
[Galaxy 3 General] umangsagar:
Google for "alive video converter"

1. It can convert videos in 29 different formats

2. Multiple videos can be converted as one batch

3. has shell integration, so just right click on any video and convert it

4. complete user control : you can chose any or all of configurations like the frame size, bitrate, framerate for videos and for audios you can change bitrate, sample rate as well as channel besides other configurations.
