[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngholson:
google 'gibson research' they have a port scanner, connect thru your phone and run the scanner, it will show you what ports are available for you to use.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiozaki:
Thanks, ran the scanner, it scaned the first 1056 ports only one was open lol, so i guess the guesttion now is will using that one open port for my torrents hurt anything?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngholson:
shouldn't hurt anything, i stay in a hotel alot and they have their router locked down pretty good with only one port open as well, i just set that as my port for torrent to use and it works great.
[Venue Pro General] ComCypher:
So this afternoon I received the complimentary bluetooth headset from Dell which they had said they would mail to all of us brave DVP early purchasers :p. Although I honestly didn't expect them to ever be sent out since I assumed our order histories were lost in the murky depths of Dell's shipping department.

Anyway, for those interested it is the Plantronics Explorer 240 and seems to be a nice enough headset, if fairly standard. I had no difficulties pairing it to the DVP. So has anyone else gotten their headset yet?
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
got mine today also. Its fine enough. Won't use it, all I wanted was the phone.

Yeah I didnt think they would go through with it. I got no use for it so I'll probably be selling it
[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
Just got mine last week too. I'd forgotten about that.
[Venue Pro General] roytellect:
Looks good! When did you guys buy the phone had the handset. I brought mine on Feburary 22nd and have not received any notice yet.
[Venue Pro General] ComCypher:
I ordered the DVP back on December 1st. I'm not sure what the cutoff was for receiving a free headset but I doubt any orders placed this year should expect one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actionquest:
This is my first Android phone. I'm fairly new to the Android platform. It worked fine including the secondary camera. Then I found out it did not include the FM Radio w/RDS which I read in the specifications somewhere that it did have it. Well I downloaded and tried fmradio.apk and the connected music player radio app on this forum and plugged in the headset. The program was trying to launch, then pressed the back button and just had the radio screen. It did not function so then I deleted the programs. Now my secondary camera does not work. Is it because of the radio was trying to launch. I think it configured a file to make the secondary camera null or void. Anyway I'm trying to get the camera back the way it was so it will work again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearfraqment:
Well have you try factory reset?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
When exactly did the secondary camera work in the first place? As far as I know, no big video-calling companies are supporting it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mister_al:
Qik does.

I haven't looked at it, but I wonder. Did Google just not implement a FFC API? It's weird that it doesn't "just work". Qik needs a special Atrix app for it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilEvo:
There is a Qik for Atrix app. And also in the camera app, you can switch to using the front camera........
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actionquest:
Yes I downloaded Qik and still nothing. Also a factory reset.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actionquest:
Secondary Camera

Ok now that I think about it the secondary camera was never on, it must of been the reflection on the glass. The main concern was with the radio, just have to wait until the next updates roll out. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] CDL0012:
Right now I am currently running HC v4 and the stock browser I feel is an improvement from when I was running the stock nook browser. I haven't tried any other roms, but which rom do you feel provides the fastest and smoothest (rendering pinch to zoom) browsing experience with the stock android browser?
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
By far HC. But that is because pre-HC stock browsers suck.
[Nook Color General] altimax98:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinty01:
I'm new to the forums but I have tried to read through as much as I can. I updated to 2.2 last week with the update from samsung. I knew that the "update" wouldn't work any better with my work's wifi connection but I wanted to try anyways.

My question is, out of all the roms out there, do any of them work using 802.1x security with authentication through peap and mschapv2?

I can see our network but can't connect to it, our radius servers don't even see my connection attempts. I work in the school's IT department so we have spent a pretty fair amount of time trying to make this work. Not just for me, but for other android users as well.

I've tried using a few of the wifi apps but none of them seem to help.

I am using a samsung captivate on att, not rooted.

Thanks for any help :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjuh:
5.12 SerendipityAdd the network manually and select the right authentication method. In settings>wireless
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinty01:
Thanks for the reply but I've been through the whole wifi menu and tried different settings and I can't seem to get anything to work so I was thinking of rooting and loading a rom if enterprise wifi connections are better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjuh:
Any rom is basically going to work the same as far as wifi goes. As long as you can select the settings to match your network as shown in the screenshot, it should work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cezar`:
Not always. If he needs and ad-hoc connection he needs to use a different wpa_supplicant than the one that comes with stock and many of the custom roms. As well, it is possible that the dhcpcd on the rom he is running is not capable to obtain ip/dns/subnet from his particular network.

Take a look here for the dhcp info and here for the supplicant thingy (not sure if is compatible with galaxy s, there was one for SGS floating around but cant find it atm)

If still doesnt work, it should work by editing the bcm... something.conf in data (i dont have my phone with me.)

EDIT: Im using my phone with LEAP / IPsec and is a pain to configure it without an app that someone made for this specific network configuration

I cant streaming video H264 on LG GT 540. Any one have same problem?
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Who is affected? All devices pre-gingerbread

Who should act? Users and developers using pre-gingerbread roms

How do I fix? Flash attached .zip at the bottom of this post

What if I think I was infected? Completely wipe your device, format sdard, go back to stock and re-apply rom, then flash the attached .zip (before installing any apps)

Why should I care? read below...

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...your-phone-steal-your-data-and-open-backdoor/

Flash this with ClockWorkMod.... this is for any Pre Gingerbread ROM.... ie TNT anything, VEGAn 5.1.1 and below, Zpad anything, GAdam anything.

This is not necessary for any ROMS based off Gingerbread AOSP or CM7. Including VEGAn-TAB Experimentals.

Be Safe.

Even More Details here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-android-nightmare-and-weve-got-more-details/
[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
I checked out the zip and it just adds a blank text file (0 bytes) called profile to the /system/bin folder. So I am not sure what the fix is?

[G Tablet Android Development] jimcpl:
Hi,

I hope that this isn't too offtopic, but I was trying to create /system/bin/profile using a term and su, and when i went into root explorer to make /system/bin R/W, root explorer showed the dir as R/W already, and as mounted on /dev/loop9.

Is that normal?

I haven't installed dataloop, at least intentionally, so it seems strange that /system/bin would be mounted there, plus it being R/W by default?

FYI, I use z4root to get temp root. Could that be why /system/bin is R/W?

Then again, that wouldn't explain the /dev/loop9 mount :(...

Jim
[G Tablet Android Development] jimcpl:
Hi,

Creating the profile file manually, it wouldn't persist,i.e., it was gone after rebooting, so I installed gojimi's zip usung CWM, and that worked.

I also did a mount w/o getting temp root, and /system/bin is not on /dev/loop9, so I'm guessing that when z4root sets temp root, it might be remounting /system/bin on /dev/loop9 itself.

I know right now LG and VMware are working on a project together where you can basically run a virtual machine on your android device. I think this is due out later this year as they had a demo in December. So, once it is available for the LG, I am sure some smart people will port it over.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
I don't see why, except to the os. But it would still be the same UDID so the apps would stay on the phone.

It would just basically make different folders that would save the shorcuts for the homesceeen and allow you to save specific files and settings for different accounts.

Think of windows.

User settings

C\Users

And apps and drm protection settings

C:\Program Files

Apps would be fine, but it would take up space. I don't exactly know the specifics of designing it into an os.

[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Hi,

Today, my phone didn't make it through the day for the first time. I checked the battery log and saw that something called Archive Viewer was using 40+ battery.

Do you know what/why this is? Also, when I go into the battery log, it is first displayed "htccompressiv....." then quickly changes into "Archive Viewer."

The only guess I have is, based on the name, that it is running to access files? With that rationale, I'm wondering if the increased battery use was due to the fact that I moved a bunch of apps to sd card. If it has to communicate with sd card more often, I can see why that would require more power.

But, then again, I don't know enough to know if that's accurate at all lol.

I'd appreciate any help on this. Please also share if your Archive Viewer uses a lot of battery too.

I'd wonder if I could even replace it with a 3rd party archive viewer.

GT
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
I do the opposite. I move all of my apps to internal memory. That way I always have access, even if I'm doing something with the SD card. It takes a hella lot of apps to fill up the 1GB of internal memory. Large games typically store their data on the SD card anyways regardless of where they are installed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Oh, I see. Thanks for the advice.

Just one question though, was that what caused the high battery usage by Archive Viewer do you think?

Im looking for recommendations on carriers.

I have sprint with an evo but have no wimax in my home neighborhood. doesnt seem like its coming anytime soon. so while i have an amazing device, sprints data speeds are so slow i constantly buffer HQ YouTube videos.

Im looking for a carrier that can actually stream HQ YouTube videos when I want to watch them, not when my data speeds permit. so I need consistent speed that is capable of allowing HQ YouTube vids to stream smoothly w/out stopping and starting, stopping and starting.

I know of cdma's technical limitations and at&t's data speeds but i dont appreciate a data cap.

[Atrix 4G General] Aielman:
Ok...I guess my search skills just suck. I'm a noob with android having just left the darkside of WM 6.5, and I know there are others that have had this problem, but I can't seem to find the exact answer I need. So I'm going to have to ask a noob question...please be gentle ;)

I'm having the same problem others have had with phones like the Nexus and with my ringtones. I use the USB mass storage setting for my connection to my computer, which I generally do at least once a day to move data round.

Every time I do it, it unmounts the sdcard and sdcard-ext and when it does, it forgets my ringtones, as you'd expect. But when I disconnect the USB, they stay forgotten and I end up with a random ringtone on my contacts and the default. So I have to go back and reset them all. Big pain.

After doing some reading, I saw several suggestions about either creating folders within the media folder on the root, or dropping the ringtones in the system\media\audio\ringtones folder.

The problem I am having is I can't seem to make anything see the ringtones in the media folder on the root, and even after rooting the phone, I can't write to the system folder.

So...my question is, does anyone have an answer on an ap that will see the ringtones in \media so that I can assign them to contacts and the default, a procedure I can do with any root tools to make what's already there see the folder, or a link to something I missed here on the forums?

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
I dunno... i was able to get a custom ringtone for text messages by adding to a media\audio\notifications folder. I'm assuming by "system" in your pseudo-folder tree, you mean the root folder where you also see the downloads folder and such? If you're actually navigating to a "System" folder... then you're probably in the wrong place.

figured i'd post a screenshot of where my "alarms", "notifications", and "ringtones" folders are.
[Atrix 4G General] Aielman:
No...that's the default storage. It's in \mnt\sdcard...and it unmounts when you connect with the USB, which seems to make it "forget" ringtone assignments. That's where I had stuff, but it still causes problems.
[Atrix 4G General] Aielman:
NM...I'm a bonehead. It helps if you set system to read/write from read/only before you try to paste into it. Must have missed that button on root explorer the first couple times around.
[Atrix 4G General] marhodges:
None of the above or what I've seen in other threads were able to help me with my ringtones.

I came from the Captivate (rooted and voodoo lag fixed), and have taught myself a little about androids through helpful forums like this, so I thought that this would be easy.

I put all my ringtones in EVERY folder imaginable, but the Ringdroid, Ringtones, stock media player and MixZing apps could not "see" all my files. Even though they all "saw" my mp3 audiobook and song files just fine.

All the ringtone files were present in Astro file manager, Andro Zip, and the stock file manager; however if I tried to play them through the file managers, a "No Player for this file type" error came up and the add as ringtone options were greyed out. I even reformatted all my tones to ogg with no luck. I played them on my laptop to make sure they weren't corrupted.

Finally after HOURS, I noticed on the new MixZing app home screen (that previously annoyed me BTW) the new "Folders" option to find files. Low an behold there They ALL are!! :eek: And I mean all, in every folder I put them in on the internal and external cards. I could then use MixZing to "use as phone ringtone" by pressing and holding over the file name.

Can anyone help me understand this :confused: (Why the files were present and in the right location, but not visible to certain apps) and maybe add things from my experience to the various how to threads?

I feel like such a Dork since my friends consider me an untrained techno geek. But I swallowed my pride and posted here even if it makes me look stupid to help others. There has to be someone else that this happened to. :o
