[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Hi guys

I did own a Sapphire/Magic back in the days and came back to Android after some skipping done during the last year. Back then installing usb drivers and adb was easy: plug in the Sapphire, point Windows to the drivers folder, done.

With the Vision/Desire Z it was much more complicated. I did use the old drivers from back then and ran into problems. Device manager had an ADB device listed, ADB couldn't find it though. Once I got it working in Android, it wouldn't interface with the recovery adb though. Once I got that working, it wouldn't show/mount the SD card anymore. Short: a huge mess.

Right now I have everything more or less working (still using the old drivers I used with the Sapphire) but it's not really right, I tried an RUU the other day and it would fail because my ADB/RUU ADB/Driver combination wouldn't match.

Long story short: where did you guys get your drivers from to interface the Vision with ADB/Fastboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
Update the SDK ...this time its in platform tools. run the sdk update and download the usb drivers. Refresh your SDK.

If you don't want to do that...then install pdanet just to grab the drivers

Or go to cyanogenmod the drivers may be avail in a post from ciwrl in vision.dz download section.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
All right, I'm d/ling the Java JDK as prompted by the latest SDK installer ;)

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneybagsxp:
I did this too (SDK + Platform tools) to get ADB/shell. However, I never got fastboot to work (even tried fastboot-mac). Not sure what I was missing, but flashing via SD (including radio) has been working thus far for me. Any recommendations on where to get more info on "fastboot" process, specifically on a Mac?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Hmm... you did notice that the fastboot binary is - at least on Windows - in a different folder than ADB, right?

On Windows its two different paths pointing to either ADB or Fastboot.

After read the theme topic and you will find instruction to install the theme ;)

It's simple :

1- Download the "update.zip" of the theme, and place it at the root of the card !

2- Reboot in xRecovery

3- Select "install update.zip from sdcard" and clic on yes !

4- After select "reboot" and it will take some minutes to reboot but you will have your theme :)

Hi,

in CM7 the phone looses the GSM connection when it is near to my head, unless it is about 15 cm away from my head - so i'm unable to make calls :(

Now I switched back to the original ROM (which is bad for me because it doesn't support german, and I need this ;) ) and I can phone without any problems.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks

My brother just got a sprint epic. He wants me to root it and flash a custom rom for him. I have been reading as much as I can and I have downloaded the oneclick root version 3. I have also downloaded the midnight rom 4.0 and 4.1 update. I have a quick question before I start. Does the epic modem need to be flashed with an update before flashing this rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Yes, either update it with Odin or the EB13 modem. Zip
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judoka209:
What if the Epic I bought is already rooted and I want a different rom or stock? Same thing?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNybble:
Before you do this, You may want to learn the following terms from the Development area...

Odexed/Deodexed

RFS/EXT4

CWM 3/CWM 2.0.5/6

Reading about these will lead to to a lot of the answers you need to successfully flash a ROM to your brothers Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBeard86:
what version firmware do you have....check in the about phone category on it.

i didnt use odin...i used the samsumg update which was very simple and worked well for me...had no problems updating my phone.

you need froyo to use the 1click root method with clockworkmod3 thats why im mentioning it.

the 1 click method was easy...just make sure you have the rom on your sd card so you can flash it....with that rom you get the kernel whic hyou need as well - it makes it easier since it does it in one step.

make sure you dont reboot the phone after you root but flash the rom first, otehrwise your phone iwl lget stuck and you will have to revert it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I will wait to do anything until I get some details like what the phone currently has on it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
Here is the phone info:

FW 2.1-update 1

Baseband dk28

kernel 2.6.29

build number sph-d700 eclair di18

hw version d700.0.5

So it would be best to update to EB13 and then download the one click method for eb13 found here:

Go to rockplayer official site..it has app download that works on anything I throw at it:D
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
I'm told that "RockPlayer Universal" is no longer on the Market (only the "Lite" version is available for some reason) -- but if you have it installed already, you can update it from within the App...

I prefer RockPlayer (Universal) to everything else so far -- and I've tried most...It does seem to be a bit finicky with the encodings you use.

That being said, it plays far more videos of different encodings than anything else I've tried...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slthree:
I have Titanium Pro and am still learning all the things it can do.

But, as I read forums I see a lot of people have apps2sd

Would getting apps2sd be redundant or will it do something that TP doesn't?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
Apps2sd is totally different than using Titanium as far as moving apps. In a nutshell, apps2sd creates a partition on your sd card and allows you to run all of your apps from the sd, depending on how large the partition is. It pretty much "tricks" the android os into thinking that the extension is part of the os memory. If you go this route, make sure your ROM supports it.

I would like to keep on the screen the Plastic Protector that comes with the XOOM from factory while I get the Screen Protector, is it possible to use it with it ?, or I have to remove it ?, thanks
[Xoom General] despich:
Ditch the screen protector, recommend the Motorola Case

Not sure if you can, I yanked mine off so fast, it was like I was 5 again again on Xmass morning. I have never used screen protectors on anything and frankly I have never got a scratch, I think they are huge ripoffs. The screen on the Xoom is very tough gorilla glass.

I WOULD recommend the Motorola case that snaps around it, some people complain that you can't charge it with it closed, but that is very minor. Otherwise it's a good case. You will want a case not only to protect against droppage but to protect the screen and make it overall less slippery when you carry it (often under your arm). It also kind of Hides it, so to most people it just looks like a little black notepad, which keeps a lot of people from asking what it is.

Dan
[Xoom General] Spawn026:
you can use it. I kept mine on for a while yesterday until I was ready to install my screen protector. Only downside is it feels real gritty but it works fine
[Xoom General] brosenz:
Thanks, my main concern are the "fingerprints", the XOOM screen is like a "fingerprint magnet"
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Fingerprints can be removed in like 2 seconds, enjoy your Xoom with the plastic off :D
[Xoom General] keitht:
That is the reason I bought InvisibleShield, the same reason I got it for my phone. It helps to reduce glare and fingerprints.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
I kept all the plastic on mine for about five days until my skinomi came. I didn't want a single scratch on my baby while i waited for the full carbon fiber/ screen protector to arrive! Worked fine with plastic. Edges started to peel back after a couple days, that's it.
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
I've had mine on since day one. Figure when it starts to come off I'll just take it off and do without. Not worried about scratches, just seemed like it'd allow me to be lazy about cleaning for a while if I kept it on over the screen.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
It won't act as a screen protect as much as a figure protector lol.

I left mine on for two days till I got a real screen protector, it will work for smudges but ID be a little careful about scratches. It's a good idea though so you don't have to clean the screen before you put the real protector on
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
geeze, u sound like those immigrant families that would leave the plastic sheet cover on their couches! :p

[Xoom General] iNdioNicarao:

Having a perfectly clean screen to apply my screen protector was one of the biggest perks! I didn't have to worry about dirt or finger prints getting stuck under the protector!

[Xoom General] Eclair~:
I'm sure you know most techies (and clumsy people?) like keeping their gadgets as perfect as they can. If that means covering it in damage-resistant plastic, then why not? I've never been one for screen protectors... but I definitely see the point. Full body protectors also seem very useful. You can bump into things, drop your device on the ground, put it in bags full of other stuff, throw it around (not horribly, of course) and still not have to worry about damage.

Its much better than letting that one little scratch you tried so hard to avoid get on your device. Unless you just don't care. However, after paying 100+ dollars I would surely care. Can't have expensive things that look like trash.
[Xoom General] nonstop14:
My original plastic is still on the face, after 5 days of use I finally took the other plastic off.

I'm having a real hard time deciding whether to put a screen protector on this thing or not. For the first time in a decade of using the stupid things I think I'm going to try going without one. I'll be heartbroken if I end up with a gash though. This is my first Gorilla Glass product so it's a foreign concept to me.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
gorilla glass scratscratches surprizingly easy! And I never used to care about screen orotectors and stuff until I started reselling my gadgets on eBay. I usually get my tech on sale and end up getting same as I paid for it back with a well preserved gadget and a good listing. Plan on doing the same with my 25% off xoom in a couple months or year when the next google experience tablet is released...
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
No offense to anyone. I know my ancestors were immigrants too!

It's actually a compliment. When you come to America with nothing, you tend to take really good care of your stuff ;)

But yea, us 3rd, 4th, etc gen Americans just say f'-it whatever, let me enjoy my things! :D

Yep, same here but I guess I've developed a different kind of "analness" eg, instead of keeping the plastic on the leather couches, I clean and condition them every 3mos (with Lexol).

Instead of putting a screen protector on my Evo, it always flies solo in my pocket everywhere we go (keys & nicknacks go in the other) and slide it in with the screen facing my thigh ;)

Not sure I can fit the Xoom in my pocket but it'll stay in the safety of the home most of its life.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Cwluc:
Been playing around a bit with my phone and came across this option wondering what exactly does it do. First I'm assuming it's an HTC only option because I'm not seeing it on other manufactures forums (so if it turns out to be worth it I know I've got to stick with HTCs). Second by enabling the option in increasing performance is it more tailored for receiving data from the AP only or if the phone is AP (tethered, hotspot) would I get any performance gains (range, speed)? Lastly while tethered does the manner matter? If I've enabled tethering by any means would it make any difference. Is it the kernel, wifi antenna, or app have anything to do with it. Does it need to be written to specifically take advantage of the feature? Basically even if enabling it does anything what's the point if I'm just going to be wasting battery at the end of the day because it's an HTC only feature that no one is coding for.

Does the wifi on phones have a cap on data speeds? At school, we have a 700 down and 500 up connection and when I hook my phone up with wifi, it goes to like 27 down and about 20 up at the most. Not that I need that type of speed but something that I found interesting and was curious about.

I found one thing it does, on my mytouch 4g slide, if the screen was off, wifi would barely work. Skype, iheartradio, etc would stop streaming until I turned it on.

very old thread, unrelated phone. When the phone goes in sleep or screen is off, most downclock the cpu to save energy, this will reduce network transfer speeds. Depending on settings, some will actually disconnect during screen off.

I have a very annoying problem:

My phone no longer registers when I plugin the usb-cable. It doesn't ask whether to go into usb-mode nor does it display that usb debugging is on. It is only possible to charge it and not to sync data.
