My whole goal is to get the phone temporary rooted using visionary and then finding a way to permanently root the phone....so to answer your question temp root is not working using Visionary R14....It did work when I was using Visionary R7... but since the visionary app (which was the R7 version) came off the Android Market, the process has be super difficult...thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:

Like he said, use that, don't waste your time with visionary
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I'd stay away from visionary if I were you! Its messing up just as many phones as it is rooting them!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
part of the problem is that a visionary method is stickied in one of these subforums... that needs to be taken down desperately and replaced with gfree/rage.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
I am in the process of using this method....I'll let you all know how it turns out. by the thanks for pointing me to it...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Yes I am in the process of using ADB / RAGE method....I run in problem and I could use someone help please...

TEMP ROOT

ON YOUR PC: Unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:

$ adb push su /sdcard/su

$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage

$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root

$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

===========

All the commands are working except

$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage

the reply I get after input the command is

Cannot open 'rage': No such file or directory

I have search the web for help...but I could find help on that issue

SO please if anyone knows what I am doing wrong could you please help....

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip again and make sure it extracted rage.

rage IS in there, I just downloaded the zip and opened it and looked.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobra281:
yeah, look for a file called "rage". if it's there, you didn't get the proper directory. you have to get to the "gfree_temp-root" directory on your computer, and THEN adb push it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Yes the "Rage" file is there, all the other command work fine...except the one dealing with the "Rage" file
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Thanks so much for your input....when I gfree_temp-root.zip file I can see that the "RAGE" file is present but after 20 to 30 minutes the "RAGE" file disappear from the folder but all the other files remains....Is an alternative gfree_temp-root download link that anyone might know of....thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
Disable your virus scanner while you do this, I bet its giving a false positive to the rage file and deleting it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Thanks so much "Ratchetrizzo" for the tip on disable my anti-virus program, I was able to get the "Rage" command line to work....But now I have run into another ROAD BLOCK and truly hoping someone could help me out as well

I am now getting this error on the Terminal Emulator on my G2 after inputting the following command line from rooting instruction...

'You now have read-write access to your /system, hboot, and recovery partitions. But you still need to "lock in" root, and give you 'su' access in the future. So just do:'

"# /data/local/tmp/root" without the # sign

I got this error message

"## mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists

## cp: can't stat '/system/xbin/busybox': Not a directory

## Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: not found

## cp: not found

## cp: not found

## Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: No such file or directory"

Once again I am seeking help on this...So if anyone can help...please let me know. Thanks again for all of the support that I have received so far ...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
Well, start all over but once you get a root (a #) for the first time, rm -rf /system/xbin then reboot the phone, then start all over again and see if that works. for some reason you have a /system/xbin FILE, not a directory.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
When I input "rm -rf /system/xbin" command I got back

"rm failed for -rf, Read-only file system
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
well that's a problem, if /system is read only you can't lock in root

do this before you rm that stuff (remember to be at a root # prompt)

mount -o remount,rw /system

then rm the stuff, then start the root process over.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammd301:
Yes, I did what you suggested, but now I am getting

"rm failed for -rt, no such file or directory" after inputting ""rm -rf /system/xbin" command...by the way thanks so much for helping me out on this...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
I dunno, I wish you were close to delaware cause I would REALLY like to watch what you are doing with my own eyes and see what's going on.

I've rooted five of these and a ton of mytouch slides and never had any problems.

Is this happening with anyone else? It plays my notification sound for emails and texts with Gmail and voice but won't vibrate. Im using CM7 RC.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
do you want kickback or just haptic feedback?

both work just fine..at least I would definitely notice if they werent.. and the only things Ive had issues with the entire palate of CM7 is some wifi or gps if you want kickback.. you may need to install that app as I am not sure if its built in cmsrc -- i always have it because well... its part of my own batch of apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
go to Menu > Settings > Sounds > Vibrate > "Always"

This is set to "Never" by default in CM7.

Also notice the "Only when not in Silent mode" choice. I use this one because I obviously don't want silent mode to be vibrating. I noticed that when I select "Always" then go to a silent profile and back to regular, it will often rever my vibrate settings to "Never". I haven't noticed this using the "Only when not in Silent mode" selection.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Hey guys,

Just got my inspire today! I've been playing with it for hours and the one thing that doesn't seem to work is that i can't get it to pattern unlock EVERY time the screen is turned on/unlocked, only when I boot. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] pinbak:
There is a setting once you enable the screen lock, it has a timer on it. Should be called the screen lock out timer I believe and it's an option right next to the change screen lock or at least on that same screen of settings!!

WOW i feel like such a noob lol thanks pinbak
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
The notification bar is unresponsive (cannot pull it down) when the phone is locked and I get an email or sms. When I immediately wake up the phone and try to pull down the notification bar it doesn't work. The 2nd attempt works.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
Could somebody please try to reproduce this bug? Thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Happens to me too; and I'm guessing you're using a different launcher?

When you boot the phone up without the SIM it is locked, and the launcher is hiding that.

Try force closing the launcher and you'll see whwhat I mean, there is a screen requiring your motoblur email and password.
[Atrix 4G General] mister_al:
Alright so I hadn't unlocked my phone yet this morning when I read your post. I unlocked it (new emails overnight) and swiped the notification bar down, no issues.

I don't know if this makes a difference, but I'm using the fingerprint sensor.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
I don't use another launcher unfortunately. Everything is stock not even root access.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
It only doesn't respond if you get them in that moment. You here the notification sound and then you unlock your phone and try to pull down the notification bar. When I get emails over night and I look at them in the morning it works.
[Atrix 4G General] mister_al:
I just tried this. Sent myself an email from gmail to work email (I use the google email.apk, not the moto blur for exchange). Phone was in my hand. When it dinged, I unlocked and notification bar worked.

THen I tried the same with exchange to gmail (motoblur gmail), and the bar worked again.

Do you use the fingerprint sensor, or is it locked in any way, or do you use the slider without password?
[Atrix 4G General] mister_al:
As a followup... I disabled the fingerprint sensor and tried this with the normal lock screen. Both the gmail and exchange tests worked
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
Thank you I still have this problem after a factory reset. I use the normal lock screen without any pin or pattern. I's weird because to me it looks more like a software problem but I have no idea why some devices don't have this problem.

Now have access to market place.

However still unable to link/register one of my Dutch credit cards (master and visa) to this account. Even with UK address/postal code the cards are being rejected as 'invalid'.

So can't pay for any app.. only download free applications, strange a multinational as Microsoft blocks its own ability to earn money

Has anybody managed a workarround the creditcard thing??

I am running Odexed EB13 with Genocide 0.3 with RFS. I have tried taking the LogsProvider.apk from SuperNova and using root explorer to replace in system/app to no avail. New sms still show up in log. I have also used the flashable logsupdate.zip and replaced the apk in it with the one from Supernova, flashed it and still the texts show. Do I need to replace the logsprovider.odex too? Is there another file involved? Others have just replaced the file with root explorer and it works. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: My phone has working bluetooth voice dial and this don't work. My wife's phone, the bluetooth voice dial does not work and this fix worked on her call log. Both were flashed with Dameon's deodexed signed EB13 but I could not get the bluetooth voice dial fix to work so restored a nandroid backup and bluetooth voice dial started working. Since then I also flashed Genocide on top of that. I may be too far gone to get this call log fixed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Must have been something flaky with my ROM because I tried to go to EXT4 and Bonsai and bricked my phone. Sooooo Odin'd the EB13 Deodex with CWM 3.0.6 and then flashed Bonsai and all is well plus my phone is a LOT faster proving something wasn't right. Now no sms in call log, custom boot anis, Overclock to 1.2Ghz, and Bluetooth voice dial still works!!!! Yay!

Still waiting on the update here, T-Mobile HD7. I really hope T-Mobile aren't going to be withholding updates in the future.

I think MS should let the carriers test but give them a deadline (short one) during which they must say what's wrong and then MS can fix it.

Here's hoping it comes soon.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] markfiasco:
While looking for a mod to get the screen lock animation from the nexus s (the old tv set turning off animation :D) I found an app that does it for you.

It's called Screen off and lock, by Katecca. It's free in the market.

In addition to the nexus s screen lock animation it has several others. The only downside is it doesn't actually use the power button to lock the screen. You have to place a shortcut to the app on your home screen and press it from there.

Just a minor inconvenience to have a neat screen lock animation.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickallison:
Have had HTC7Pro for a few days now and generally impressed.

However;

How exactly are the pushpins in Maps supposed to work?

This site from Microsofts Windows Phone area, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-GB/howto/wp7/web/use-maps-to-find-a-place.aspx seems to be the only thing that I can find, here or out on the Web, that isn't related to Developers.

In Google Maps of old, I had around 100 pins stored locally (on the phone rather than up in the cloud or on the wider web) for places all over the UK.

I need this to hand as my work often finds me traveling from and to various repeated locations such as Building Sites, Suppliers and (especially) Guest Houses.

It appears that the only way to have a location stored "on the phone" is to pin it to the Start Screen as a link to Maps. As you can imagine, this is going to be very impractical with that many potential places to store.

Is this the case? I don't really want to have to resort to downloading address information for Hotels (which could be stored in Contacts, I know) and other places of Interest every time I want to get directions in Maps. Building Sites are not generally even available through the Internet due to there very nature. The address for them could be stored as a note in One Note I suppose.

Whatever, all these work arounds are just that. Long Winded and unintuitive. Hopefully I am doing something wrong with the Maps application and some one can point me right. If not, bugger!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stillriza:
Just wanted to say thanks. I didnt even know we had pins in bing maps.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickallison:
Your welcome, Stillriza, even thoughthe pins are no where near as functional as I would like.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
That page you linked is basically the extent of the functionality of Maps at the moment. I don't think there is much more.

I'm waiting for the day when it sync's pins to the cloud, so I can look up stuff online, and jump on my phone and have my saved pines or favorites show up on the map.

Otherwise at the moment, Maps is very basic.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickallison:
That's what I figured prjkthack.

Basic, however is not an issue for me. I despise "turn by turn" sat nav totally. A 2D map is, in my opinion the way to go. I find that when I arrive at my destination I have some idea in my mind as to where I actually am. This is unlike using turn by turn which, find to be akin to driving down some anonymous "pipe", oblivious to my surroundings.

I do think that Maps looks and generally behaves far better than Google Maps on my Blackstone did, although I admit that this may be largely down to hardware limitations on the older handset.

I just wish the pins were more functional.

Ah well, maybe for the update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickallison:
Of possible interest to Orange customers in UK. Their "Orange Maps" app, free from Marketplace but subscription required on most tariffs, addresses the Push Pin issue.

It does have issues of it's own however, when compared to Bing Maps. Not least, as a third party app, it switches itself off when the phone "sleeps" or takes a call, or anything else, and has to go through the start up procedure again to relaunch it. It does offer to recall any ongoing routes however which at least means that you don't have to reset the route every time.

Also, it appears, so far, that it does not allow the phone to go to sleep when it is actually following a route. This is better than Bing maps can manage at the moment.
