Do you think i may need to ADP push the Stock Recovery on ?
[Desire General] mikep99:
Have you run it as administrator, antivirus off and phone in fastboot?

When connected to your PC in fastboot, does your phone show 'fastboot usb'?
[Desire General] :
Yes i have it on Fast Boot .ran as admin I have also removed the SIM and SDCARD and get the same error.
[Desire General] :
Could there be an issue with the deivce driver when in fast boot. What should be installed for it ??
[Desire General] mikep99:
Does it say 'fastboot usb' when connected?
[Desire General] :
Yes it does
[Desire General] mikep99:
Try installing htc sync if its not already on your PC.

then have another go.
[Desire General] :
I have tried doing that as well with and with out HTC sync
[Desire General] mikep99:

[Desire General] mikep99:

Yep, as Eddy says. The next option would be the PB99IMG way.

Have a look at Eddys link.
[Desire General] :

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

how can i flash a rom tho if i dont have CMW working or fast boot ?
[Desire General] mikep99:
Looks like a corrupt download of the ruu.

You'll have to download it again.

While that's running, have a read of Eddys doc :)
[Desire General] :
cant get anything to download from the site you gave me ether . it seemd to time out / all files end up being about 10 meg lol ahhhh
[Desire General] :
I have given up manged to get a replacement
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you already had the o2 RUU all you had to do was follow the guide I'd posted and you'd have been sorted. You didn't need to download it again

Still, done now

Hi

I'm looking for a good ROM which don't have problem with battery drain in BT standby mode?

Could U recommend me something?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scariola:
Coredroid 1.4

Any sense based rom will have no high bluetooth drain
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adecostres:

I also don't know why, but I think this has connection with kernel version.

I have been testing for 2 days CoreDroid sense ROM, and I can confirm that battery don't drain when BT is on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] InfX:
Can someone here please recommend a ROM that got neither the 60mA drain issue, nor the WiFi drops on standby one ? For those unfamiliar with the second issue, try pinging your device over WiFi and shut the screen off. The device is going to stop responding to pings if the build is affected by the issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh030181:
i also plugged in the hdmi cable before i started the app still freezes, does fresh have hdmi, also i installed the updated full hdmi that says you can now use with any kernel
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
There's your problem. That post was just an update saying the next release of the app would not require a kernel. The app you installed does require an HDMI enabled kernel to be flashed in order for it to work.

Try the kernel on post two here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972585

It still allows for you to OC and wireless tether. Or, the kernel in post #1 is a stock HTC kernel with the HDMI coding cooked into it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valewalker:
Hey Guys,

I figured you fine chaps at XDA would be the best to ask this compatibility question:

I'm planning on building a new car audio system but I'm concerned that the head unit I pick up will not support the Vibrant via USB. This is mostly because when I used it with my PC at home for the first time, I had to download Samsung USB drivers to get it to work. I can't imagine most head units having these drivers stock. Does anyone use their Vibrant with a head unit via USB?

Otherwise I may just have to wait until Parrot releases their Android powered unit and pray that it supports my phone.

http://www.parrot.com/asteroid

Thanks for the help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
I actually just bought a new head unit that has a front usb port. Will test it after my nap. Yes, my nap and damn sure better be a good one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jRi0T68:
What features are you, specifically, looking to use? If it's just to play mp3 files, I've read that this can work if you connect as mass storage.

For other audio functions, I'd just get a head unit with an auxillary port.

Bionix Frost

Dragon Kernel v5 Test4
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
I believe it will only play audio through the jack. If the part you have is usb im sure there are adapters you can get say at frys or radio shack.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Depends on what you need if it is the what is on the phone you need to access then, you can go and change the setting to mass storage and your phone will be seen as a flash drive. If you want to integrate the phone into the console system, you would need something that allowed that to happen, my Infiniti does do that to a point but then, I had to change some things around to make it to my liking. Don't know if that is helpful but it is more information

Cheers
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
If all you want to do is listen to music files that are on the sd card, I just tried it out and it works fine for that.

Just get a Bluetooth Head unit, I use my vibrant to play music and talk on phone through bluetooth all day long...

best part...NO WIRES
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmarshall5019:
I have had major issues with mounting as mass storage to my head unit. I was able to do this with my original Droid. My Thunderbolt gave me issues but when I flashed a ROM that did now auto mount a virtual cd drive it worked without any issues.

I have not been able to get my bionic to work. I have a ROM but it still mounts a cd drive as well as both SD cards.

Is there a way to stop the CD drive from mounting?

At this point when I mount the head unit picks it up but then loops through the sd card.

I am thinking it is not the head unit because I can connect either of my old phones and they will work without any issue.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
I have the xtralogic RDP app on my Xoom, and use it to dial into a spare Hyper-V box that I've built up and dedicated to just this task. The resolution and layout is set up for my Xoom specifically, and it's always running "over on the side". This setup works great with a few exceptions...

It puts a mouse on the screen, which allows me to drag my finger around anywhere on the screen itself to push this mouse cursor back and forth, and if I "click and hold" it brings up a right click menu. Generally this is a good thing, but I wish I could tweak it to act more like a Wacom tablet does... anywhere I push on the screen the cursor jumps to, so if I want to reach up and hit the X to close a window, I don't need to "scrub" over to that location with the cursor.

It's also a two step process (Menu > Android Keyboard) to bring up a keyboard.

Generally, it's really nice, and allows me to RDP into my box from anywhere on campus to check on things (I'm in IT). Does anyone have any idea how to emulate this kind of Wacom style touchpad functionality? As for the keyboard, I'm going to try enabling some tablet options (handwriting, and the onscreen keyboard below text entry fields), but without touch support it won't really work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Morkai Almandragon:
Get Wyse Pocketcloud, it is FAR superior to xtralogic RDP
[Xoom Themes and Apps] skullvet:
Can't agree more. +1
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
hmmm... I had thought it required a third party client be installed first, but i guess not. Shame I paid for xtralogic's client, meh...

after a bit of poking, it seems like the touch interface in wyse is what I'm after, but it's a shame I can't choose the resolution myself... it's either too big or too small. Xtralogic's I can manually specify 1280x750 (xoom screen minus the main bar at the bottom of the screen).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Morkai Almandragon:
You can specify resolution, and pinch to zoom for the rest
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
I actually prefer xtralogic rdc to wyse. To each his own I guess. You can go into settings in xtralogic and turn off touchpad mode to get the behavior you want by the way.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cellfreak:
Logmein...

Have you tried Logmein? I use it on my EVO 4G , Galaxy Tab and now my Xoom.

Edit xoom needs some work by dev.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jdubso:
Do any of the rdp clients allow for full screen mode? I haven't bought the paid version of xtralogic, the trial of wyse doesn't and I own Remote Rdp and I know that doesn't.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] padanfain:
I have been happily using x2 client which is free. It has a mouse like you describe but you can make it jump to specific location and hide it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
Xtralogic allows you to set resolution manually, which is great for setting it to be 1280x750. This allows the windows desktop to take up "all of the screen above the xoom's own taskbar".

\

I've been trying out a bunch of different options, and still find xtralogic's to be the best.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mazz0310:
Has anyone tried RealVNC VNC Viewer? I use this pretty primarily on my Droid X (instead of RDP)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cwizardtx:
I went ahead and paid for PocketCloud and am very happy with it. It does full screen perfectly for me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
i think the main point with the xtralogic and wyse is that it doesn't require any forethought on your part... you can take over the native Windows remote desktop feature that's built into windows. VNC would require installing a client in advance.

This is probably fine if you're only taking over a single home machine, but there are likely to be about 20 servers in my list of bookmarks, and I don't want VNC installed on them.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jdubso:
Thanks for the advice. I just bought Xtralogic and so far it seems to be the best rdp client I've used. Much better then wyse and remote rdp.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cwizardtx:
Cool. I have no basis of comparison really, maybe I'll shell out for both :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ArXane:
I need an RDP client for work on my Xoom, why would you say Xtralogic is better then Wyse?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
It depends on the user as to which is better but I will list why I prefer xralogic:

1) the resolution of fit to screen works for me on xtralogic. On wyse it still pans a bit which annoys me.

2) I like to use the touch surface as a trackpad. It allows for more precise pointing in my opinion. I struggle on some apps to hit small targets with a touch to point interface.

3) xtralogic allows me to login to console. This is important since users seem to never remember to logoff rdc sessions.

4) finer control over security negotiation

5) ability to autotune based on connection type.

Other than that I have found xtralogic to be more performant and reliable than wyse but that is an anecdotal observation at best.

I go between wyse and android-vnc for my vnc needs but in all honesty am not fond of either for vnc. In fairness though I mostly use vnc to connect to console kvm instances and none of the vnc apps handle the lack of pointer well.

What devices will this work on?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tom--:
I won't say I don't believe you, but it is impossible that only using another DNS server increases the upload/download speed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 0vermind:
Actually, that's not true. It has to do with pipe bandwidth and speed. Verizon obviously isn't as big as Google, and they also can handle better servers, it also has to do with where you are in the world, and on their network, and what you are doing. Google's DNS servers are configured and made for SPEED and speed only. Verizons DNS can also be bottlenecked to ensure "data consistancy" as they have came out and said before.

Chris says it better than I can though.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fubaya:
DNS just translates URLs to IP addresses. I don't see how it would help upload/download speeds once you've connected to a site, but a bad DNS server will make connecting to a site take a while. Slow DNS servers make it take longer to find the site, but once it's found, how would DNS matter?

This script requires you to run it with an argument telling it which ppp device to use, ppp0 or ppp1 (does android even use ppp? mine doesn't but it's a Nexus One that doesn't have anything added by any carrier). If you don't supply it with an argument, it won't do anything. It will skip the first half of the script and enter incorrect information in the second half.

(it tries to enter things like: "net.$NAME.dns1", the $NAME variable is the same as the argument you use to run the script. If you don't use an argument, it will enter "net..dns1")

The script is placed in /etc/ppp/ip-up, meaning it is supposed to be executed when the ppp daemon detects a ppp connection. I don't think the ppp daemon can run it with arguments.

I personally don't see how flashing this script would do anything at all.

Just open a terminal emulator and type:

su

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8

nameserver 8.8.4.4" > /etc/resolv.conf

voila, DNS changed!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 0vermind:
When loading a website, it's loading things from everywhere, for example, on my website, it loads things from Google Analystics, my Godaddy Grid Server (which is a bunch of different addresses), Statcounter, and ads. Each lookup takes take time complete and resolve. As far as file transfer, it has absolutely nothing to do with that. That's between you and the server you're downloading from, as well as the load of the server itself.

Does that command change the DNS permanently?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdbiggles:

This is a cool script, but I prefer to use Masqed Crusader app. It does the same thing (Google DNS) but adds Local Nameserver Caching and Ad-blocking. And it can be turned off and on just by hitting a button... no permanent changes. ;)

Dumb question, but how many .zips can you flash in the same recovery session? I have always flashed one at a time and with all of the wiping it tends to be quite time consuming.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
Edit;;;

you're right... I had no clue... I apologize....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
You can flash as many as you want (Mexigga, I'm honestly not sure what you're talking about :( ). The important thing to do is Clear your Cache and Dalvik Cache before flashing. Other than that, I've flashed a good 4-5 things before without any problems.

HOWEVER, if one of the things you flashes causes a problem you'll have to do them one at a time in order to determine which one is causing the problem.

Final word: ALWAYS NANDROID BACKUP. ALWAYS :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can flash as many as you want. Just wipe your cache and dalvik each time. Doing 1 at a time allows you determine which, if it happens, causes problems.
[EVO 4G General] clockcycle:
So I think I remember reading a while back when the EVO came out that people were able to get on the PAM plan and were being given/sent out overdrive (pucks)?

Anyone ever get this? Is it still attainable? How well does the 3G/4G puck work comparatively to the EVO in Wifi Tethering mode (better I hope)?

Reason I ask in the EVO section is that it was an item that was offered to people with EVO and PAM on their plans..

I am considering this route to tether my Tablet, as lately the areas I frequent aren't getting a very good signal on my EVO enough to use the internet.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

[Xoom Accessories] El Daddy:
There is a power button on the keyboard. Just hold it down a few seconds.

Is recessed a bit just below the top of the keyboard. I think it would be pretty tough to turn it on in a bag. Also the manual claims 6 months of active use and one year standby on just 2 AA batteries.

I created this post using the keyboard BTW :)
[Xoom Accessories] diaa08:
I initially purchased this keyboard but was unimpressed by build quality and typing feel, i decided to return it and use my amazingly good Microsoft BT keyboard that i got for around 30 dollars. In my opinion it is smaller, more responsive, better built and definitely better for straight typing on.

Only huge downside is the lack of android dedicated keys as on the moto kb, but even a lot of those didn't work.

I'm hoping that android's interaction with human interface devices (mice even!?) improves over time, because I am super close to being able to just use my Xoom when I am out in the field and leave my laptop behind.

You can display the latest threads from your favorite forum/subforum right on your homescreen, and when you tap it, the Android browser takes you directly to the thread.

Here's how:

In the Android Market, install 'Minimal RSS Widget'

When you place the widget on your homescreen, you are give the opportunity to choose from some pre-arranged RSS feeds, and you can also enter a custom feed.

Choose custom, and in the box where you enter the address of the custom feed, enter:

''http://xdaforums.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=XXX'' without the quotes

Where the XXX is on the end of the RSS address, you enter the forum id# for whatever forum you wish to be displayed.

Here are most of the HD2 subfora id's to make it easy on you:

HD2 General:532

WM 6.5 Q&A/General:988

WM 6.5 Rom Development:534

WM 6.5 Themes & Apps:535

WP7 Q&A/General:987

WP7 Development:977

WP7 Themes & Apps:978

Android Q&A/General:989

Android SD Development:735

Android NAND Development:928

Android Themes & Apps:979

You can have as many feeds as you want, as far as I know.

If you want a subforum that's not listed above, just go to it in your browser and look for the 3 numbers at the end of the address after forumid= and use them.

I did not make Minimal RSS Widget, so if it doesn't work on your phone/ROM, don't complain to me, contact the maker of the app.

It works well for me, and even has a transparency option so only the text shows up on your screen.
