[Touch Pro CDMA] whoshotjr2006:
lemme be the first to say it man, ouch lol

sorry about your screen, i fear the only way to fix would be to find another screen assembly, if you search the threads for the cdma raphael(herman) i beleive there is a detailed teardown of the phone that may or may not help you resolve your problem. here is a quick link to something along the lines of what your looking for but not really too detailed : http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC-Touch-Pro/787/1
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
ive done that, but usually break the screen completely. i have an extra us cellular tp that has a bad keyboard and front panel buttons but screen and touch works. i just use it as a extra battery charger. has some scratches, but works. ill send it to you if you send me your old one. the screen has a double-stick tape that holds it to the frame around the edges. let me know if your able to tear it down and think you can put it back together again. its a pretty straight forward process though.
[Touch Pro CDMA] clsk1:
Apply packing tape to the screen and pull as hard as you can.
[Xoom General] JC3:
Hello fellow Xoom enthusiast , I just wanted to know what are some things your guys wanted me to address when I compare the Xoom and the iPad 2 when it comes out of friday. I will be making a comparision video and I want to get you guys/girls input.
[Xoom General] kiwiruss:
If someone can tell if the wifi only xoom has full GPS support. i'll be getting a wifi only xoom as soon as its available.

Thanks
[Xoom General] SmokeMasta:
yes it has gps support
[Xoom General] mr.r9:
Web browsing, music players, office/pdf viewing (if you can), & chatting via camera in Gtalk and Skype...

Thank you.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
He want's to know about full gps support.

With full GPS support, you can be located on the earth via satellite without the need to be connected to a wifi or mobile network.

From what I have read on this site, The wifi-only Xoom is getting full gps. This doesn't mean you can go into google maps and map without a network seeing as how you need the data to download the map information. But knowing your lattitude and longitude, and tracking yourself on pre-saved maps will be possible on the Wifi-only Xoom without a network.

As of this moment, I don't think there is an app that allows you to save predetermined maps onto your system for you to use a GPS with later. But I bet they will be out soon seeing as how the xoom is the first tablet to have these functions.
[Xoom General] mrjoshzombie:
Benchmarks are my main concern. I want to see which has the better over-all performance.
[Xoom General] joshua.lyon:
The Google Maps that ships with the Xoom (5.0) should support offline map caching.

[XPERIA X8 General] romcio47:
Yesterday I asked official Polish support about dual touch (not multitouch!) on X8.

Original Polish version (Just in case. I've seen many Poles on xda):

"Witam. Zauważyłem, iż telefon Xperia X10 wspiera dual touch od czasu ostatniej aktualizacji. Moje pytanie jest następujące: czy Xperia X8 w przyszłości będzie także obsługiwała dual-touch na Androidzie 2.1?

Pytam o Androida 2.1, gdyż wiem, z oficjalnych źródeł o braku planów odnośnie aktualizacji do wersji 2.2."

Z poważaniem

Roman xxx

And got this answer today (in Polish again):

Szanowny Panie,

W odpowiedzi na Pańskie zapytanie pragniemy Pana poinformować, iż dual touch będzie działał na platformie 2.1.

Zgodnie z poprzednio udzieloną informacją Sony Ericsson obecnie nie planuje aktualizacji do wyższych wersji.

Z poważaniem,

Karina Warkoni

Sony Ericsson Contact Center

translate it: http://translate.google.pl/ (I'm too lazy to do it myself but translation in both mails are almost perfect)

So what do you think about it? There's still a chance for us!
[XPERIA X8 General] Terdroblade:
I hope its true, it would make a lot of apps easier to navigate and use
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
I to.

At the end update info doesnt make sense 2.1-update1.
[XPERIA X8 General] G29:
Once again, "There will be official dualtouch update for X8", but when? People (including me) are impatient;) Geohot will be faster to crack bootloader than SEMC to make official dualtouch for our phones...
[XPERIA X8 General] romcio47:
SE isn't going to upgrade X8 and even X10 series to 2.2. They want to develope other Xperia series - Arc, Pro, Play for example cause these phone's are going to have Android 2.3 as stock.

2.2 not for X8 and X10 - it makes me angry cause even the much weaker phone - Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800) got its 2.2 today (for now it's only in Italy) but X8 is much more powerful phone than this sh*t so... :(

I hope he will do this soon! Can't wait for DT (even for games - Pew Pew is sooooooo beautiful but it's impossible to play it without DT...)
[XPERIA X8 General] yesdalo:
I hope it!
[XPERIA X8 General] fkathrada:
You know, I'm going to contact SE again. Last time, they told me that 2.2 is a possibility. At least, that if I call back in the middle of the year in regards to Froyo, they'll update me. So, it's a doozey right now.
[XPERIA X8 General] mati96PL:
That was a fake... there won't be multitouch ypdate -.-
[XPERIA X8 General] wujekandrzej:
there's always so much misinformation when it comes to contact SE about phone upgrades, i wonder, if it's caused by incompetent support guys, or the HQ changing its mind all the time.

anyway, thanks for sharing it, romciu :)
[XPERIA X8 General] romcio47:
Maybe it will be like this - someone will finally crack the bootloader and SE will think "sh*t, so many things we wouldn't like to share with... let's give them 2.2/2.3 to lock it again...". I think x10 users got their 2.3 after SE noticed that Zdzihu cracked their bootloader and put his own kernel (still 2.6.29 but with Zdzihu's adnotation).

We'll see :-)
[XPERIA X8 General] ronhoover88:
In what way is x8 more powerful than the ****:-P
[XPERIA X8 General] romcio47:
You know... it's my opinion, and I saw that X8 better handles 3D, CPU operations, RAM... both on stock 2.1 and even without any upgrades. Now my friend has got 1300 MHz OC processor, 2.2 and many other upgrades and... 900 points in quadrant... That's not fair! :-D
[XPERIA X8 General] ronhoover88:
I know but they aren't bugless to be honest i use the same phone with all oc an stuff...the quadrants points dont make any difference...coz our phone lacks gpu and 3d...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wallendiaz:
Hey guys, I have a question:

Would like to know, because my mytouch 4g is warming much in the bottom while using the internet as they do not use the internet, I look at the applications and do not see any application running when the phone is not in use.:confused::confused::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmaner:
wow, that;s a funny subject :).. As to your problem, specifically I couldnt say as I do not have one. Generally it sounds like a battery issue that Ive seen on both the HD2 and the Cliq. Let it get warm and pop the battery out and see if its warm to the touch, if so Id get a warranty replacement on the battery.
[Nook Color General] dc52317:
So I have been able to get appbrain 5.51 and newest fastwebinstaller2.11 loaded on my Nook. I have a seperate account on appbrain.com for my nook setup. After a little trial and error I was able to get Angry Birds and a few other protected apps to load using fast web installer.

Seems that once I have installed a protected app using appbrain they show up in the market as well.

NOTE I have only tried a couple protected apps so far. If folks have a list I am willing to try any, I just am not sure what is protected and what is not. I have not ran into but a few I could not see in the market.

Steps

1.Install Appbrain 5.51

2.Install FastWeb installer 2.11

3.Setup Appbrain.com account

4.Run Appbrain app on Nook, login to account setup in step 3

5. Go to preferences and enable fast web installer to your appbrain account

(note the first time I did this I got can't enable, went to settings>app>fasteweb clear cache/force close, restarted app brain and it worked) I need to go over this again and figure out exactly what I pushed.

6. Now if 5 worked, search either via appbrain app, and install or via appbrain.com must be on wifi for this to work of course. If your in the appbrain app you will see three options at the bottom of the app your looking at, share/market/install. hit install!!

Hopefully this works for folks.

I am running 0.6.8 on sdcard, 1.1ghz.

Helped another with the 0.6.7 on sdcard all inclusive image get setup and it seems to work.

WARNING do not use the same appbrain account on your android phone as appbrain will then push apps to both devices.

Good luck

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mumbojumbo01:
if I should return this phone or not.

I am coming from the old MT3G, so this is a serious upgrade for me, and I am loving every thing about it, except the memory issue for the apps.

I know that the LG Optimus g2X is probably coming out this month on Tmo, and probably could get on that instead.

I am trying to get everyones opinion on this ... just to get the pros and cons of this compared to that of the LGs.

Would appreciate if you guys can give me your input......

EDIT:

Also, is it possible to return it rooted? Do I need to reload all the bloatware I deleted?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xxkingpinxx:
I like the phone, but I cannot recommend over the mytouch 4g. I have both.

+ The screen is amazing, and a huge selling point

+ Takes some of the best HD video ive ever experienced on a mobile phone

+ Snappy phone, no real issues as far of everyday use. It truely is a great phone.

+ Data speeds are very good

- The cheezyness of touchwiz UI and the extreme bloatware

- Totally nerfed the memory, combined with bloatware I only had like 400mb of memory available, why samsung?

-/+ no Flash on Camera, sorry. Camera performs well, but video is very good. Actually takes half decent pics in dim lighting. But having the option for flash would help, again..why samsung?

Other little things with the stock rom, like the browser not able to load in desktop mode and the very well hidden mobile hotspot are annoying but im sure will be resolved with custom Roms.

This phone couldve been a home run, but samsung only trades off some luxuries hardwarewise. The shipping software is tragic, but XDA im sure will come to the rescue. So with that...im keeping it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Deleted member 2653512:
i've worked a couple of refurb centers for cell phones and you can return a phone to them with a full custom rom on it if you want. they don't care. they just replace hardware and plastics as necessary and EVERY phone gets plugged in and returned to a factory image. with that in mind... don't tell customer support anything over the phone that would prevent them from setting you up for a phone swap. lol

as for the phone's app issue... not really an issue if you have a moderate understanding of android and know how to move apps to external sd. all in all the phone is great... i recommend it. improved sound and video recording over the original Vibrant. i still have my original Vibrant so i compare them off and on. drastic improvements in some areas such as GPS. no change in others.

give it a go... you've got nothing to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Henchman:
Return it and wait for something better.

I literally can't wait to get my replacement Vibrant 3g in the mail, so I can take this thign back.

I actually really hate it, and feel it's been a step backwards.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] castro08:
Just woundering,where did you hear that the optimus 2x is comming out this month
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] carmeng4evr:
I have a mytouch 4g so I disagree with the above post. I would so get a galaxy s.

Lol but if you wanna get rid of it....i will trade you my mytouch 4g haha

*Sent from Carmen diva*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nucentury08:
Just wait on GS2 Galaxy 4g Is pointless a 4g upgrade no power at all at all lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mumbojumbo01:
I definitely want to give this one a try, as said coming from the old MT3G, this is a good upgrade, snappy fast. Yes apps can be handled using the app2sd etc, but if waiting for a few more days or weeks will get me a phone where this is not going to be a tradeoff, then I keep thinking that it might be worth waiting.

I am not sure if its being released this month, but cnet, XDA, endgadget all announced it a few days back that Tmobile is going to be getting it this month. The exact launch date i am unsure of. Check out the forum on XDA, they are talking all about it. (of course I might be totally mistaken)

Ohh no way am I going for the MT4G, they were giving it at free at Costco - from where i upgraded to the SG4G, but chose not to.. nice try though :P

The only one I think I wanna wait for is the LG phone, since its to be, APPARENTLY, original android etc and it might have the 1 or 2 GB space for apps. Of course its dual core etc, and might get ginerbread much earlier then the samsung.

The drawback on the LG is the screen resolution. And we dont know how the battery life is going to be on it or any other issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Extreme bloatware? Have you seen a Epic 4G stock... now that is extreme bloatware compared to this.

Additionally, DoubleTwist AirSync is $5, so yeah I guess it's bloatware if you don't use it, but otherwise it's a bonus.

Honestly, I still don't understand everyone's complaint about internal memory. Move the app to the 16gb SD they provided.

Additionally, I was going to get the Nexus S but then I found out it has 16gb internal but no microSD support. I like the ability to change my storage space.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigdaddyrobb:
I am also coming from a My Touch 3g (3.5) and I really love the Galaxy S. I was up in the air between Nexus S, My Touch 4g, and this one. The Nexus lost out because no memory slot, the My Touch seemed a little slower (perception maybe) and the screen was not as nice. I can live with the on board memory since I can do a 32 gig card and run most apps that way. Will I regret not waiting...maybe but right now it is the best phone I have had it was easy to root and remove all the garbage I didnt want.

So I say keep it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xxkingpinxx:
Memory IS an issue. With the type of processor this phone has is geared toward gaming and video. Gaming is great on this phone, but alot of the high quality games needs system resources and still needs a sizable amount of memory on the phone even with SD card data moved, not to mention even the apps that have to use system resources and cannot be moved. From my experience, the paltry memory was used real quick, and I'm not the only one.

No I haven't seen Epic 4g stock.

Im a 6yr Tmobile employee, I beta test and get my phones free, so I've been thru almost all our phones. This one has to have the most on board "bloatware" I've come across out of all our phones. Now bloatware to me by definition are software that should be OPTIONAL to the end user but is not and remains on the phone using memory and not being used.

A few apps I don't use and would like to be removed,

amazon mp3 - 1.12mb

Tmobile Backup- 1.15mb

Kindle- 2.68mb

Layer- 3.0mb

Media Hub- 4.47mb

My Account- 1.35mb

Slacker Radio- 2.40mb

T-Mobile TV- 4.48mb

TeleNav GPS- 1.97mb

ThinkFree Office- 9.18mb

Y! Finance Clock- 1.2mb

Now thats only app size, not to mention the cached data and background resources these apps use. And thats just some of the stuff, I do use some of the other apps already on the phone.

Really the point I'm trying to make is that most upper tier Android phones, (which this should fall in that catagory) should almost be a prerequisite to have a sizable amount of onboard memory available to the end user and this one doesn't. Why does the vibrant have sizable memory and this doesn't?

And BTW, I do not know why everybody is dogging the MyTouch 4G, it can do everything the Gs4G can do, and has memory and camera flash and only .2 of an inch smaller screen, and of course HTC made so updates and large XDA support. Like I said...I like the Galaxy S 4G but feel I made a lateral move from the MyTouch 4G.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newb4ever:
Hey everyone!

I got a free Microcell from AT&T this week because my place is a bad area for a signal.

Anyways, hooked it up fine and it works great except for the fact that my battery drains to 10% overnight from a full charge. This has been happening every night since I got the Microcell.

I haven't installed any new apps and did a scan to see if it's one of the malware apps that google listed. I have a Captivate running Andromeda 1.1 (and I freaking LOVE IT!) and my roommate has a Iphone 4.

If anyone can shed some light that would be great!

Since I used gfree to obtain s off and super cid/sim unlock, will it work?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tooter1:
I'm not 100% positive on that. I also have a Behold 2 and, it was rooted when I got it.

I had no idea how it was rooted. I used the unlockr site for it too and, it work for it.

To me, the way the instructions are wrote, it sounds like it will work to un-root all methods of the G2 root process.

Hopefully a more experienced person will chime in shortly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
No, those guides will technically remove root since they restore the shipping ROM but will leave you with S-OFF (since you used gfree---if you had only used the engineering HBOOT to obtain S-OFF, the guides would have been fine). Did you take a look at the actual Wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Returning_to_Stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tooter1:
When I used the unlockr method, my s-off went s-on.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Did you use gfree to to obtain S-OFF though? If you used the engineering HBOOT to do it, as I said in my post, those guides would work fine as is. Flashing the shipping ROM with the PC10IMG file will replace the engineering HBOOT with the shipping one (which is S-ON). If you use gfree though, you get true radio S-OFF (the engineering HBOOT is a fake one that tricks the phone into thinking you have S-OFF, thus allowing write access to the system). This is done by modifying partition 7 on the phone. Since this partition contains information specific to your phone, it is normally left untouched by a PC10IMG or RUU. This is why if S-OFF is obtained through gfree, simply replacing the HBOOT with a PC10IMG file won't revert you to S-ON.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mftek1:
Worked perfectly for me. I flashed stock rom, installed PC10IMG.zip and then used gfree to turn s-on and remove sim unlock.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] good223:
What should I do first if I used gfree to return to stock on my T-Mobile US G2? I also flashed the eng-hboot.

I used this guide http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14344-how-to-root-a-new-g2/, and I flashed the "PC10IMG-altered.zip" right after I used gfree to get radio s-off.

Edit: I just followed the xda wiki and I didn't run into any problems.

Just plugged my Xoom in this morning, first time in a couple of days and my storage is full. I've calculated all the apps I've got installed based on the 'Manage Applications' reported storage usage and with all the apps I've got installed I'm at about 1.5gb, yet when I go to 'Storage' in Settings it reports I've got 11gb of apps installed. My normal storage usage hasn't changed, I've used about 16gb with music and roms and such, but somehow magically I'm using 11gb of storage for apps that it can't actually find... What do I do? Any suggestions? Never had anything like this happen on my Droid so I'm pretty lost.

edit: It's also keeping me from installing anything at all or even updating apps... Pretty annoying.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Just a guess but did you take application storage onto account PR just the application itself. 10 Gig seems excessive for application storage but some games have large files.

The game data for all my games seems in line with the games I'm playing. In the 'Manage Applications' menu, it shows aggregate total, including application storage.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I just uninstalled all the big apps, still nothing. Astro didn't help me figure anything out either, I've got absolutely no idea what's using 11gb of storage now, I certainly have less than 1gb installed and I've only got 2gb free.

I'm new to the Glacier scene. And I've read through some of the rooting threads. It looks like they're a couple of different methods for rooting the Glacier, although it looks like some people with newer devices seem to have problems with a couple of the methods.

All I'd like to do is delete some of the stock bloatware. Do I need S-Off to accomplish this on the 4G? What would be the easiest way to approach this? At this point I don't see the need for an OC, or a custom rom, etc... I know before root/S-OFF was obtained on the G2 that people figured out how to go in and disable the stock apps. Is there a way to do this on the 4G?
