@Ivoky

Mine is too but it is updated to 7008. Guess I can update it to NoDo too with the instructions on the Omnia general forum. But the receptance is much better with the latest firmware. That is why I would like to upgrade.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] VonCrisp:
For the Samsung Taylor you have to use the ChevronWP7 NoDo Updater to update the phone to NoDo.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
I just received a mytouch 3g slide in a trade on xda and it was already rooted and busybox is instilled. But I'm going to assume it is S-On because every time I go to rom manager it will give me an error when it tries to install clockwork recovery mod, every time I try using adb it tells me that locations that I am pushing to are read only.

I would like some aid on this and any help would be greatly appreciated. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
No help anyone?

-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
for future reference.. you need to mount the system if you are s-off... and want to permanent flash recovery.. so in adb shell or teminal on phone you want to do is

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

if on phone you do flash_image /sdcard/recovery.img

adb would be the same

in fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

if s-on you get the update.zip put in sdcard.. and appl update.zip or jus go to rom manager and click flash recovery and after click reboot in recovery
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
It took awhile for a response but thank you it is very appreciated. :)

I am really liking this keyboard:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/02/26/thumb-keyboard-is-an-epic-win-for-tablet-typing-hands-on/
[Xoom Accessories] jvs60:
Been using it from day one. It is perfect for tablet typing
[Xoom Accessories] BBalz:
My only gripe is that it takes over the whole screen sometimes... not always but most of the time it does and that bugs me.

I've changed it to the 10" tablet setting as well.
[Xoom Accessories] atoy74:
I've been holding out for SwiftKey's thumb keyboard. They demo'd it at the same time as the Xoom but I can't even find a beta. Thumb keyboard is absolutly necessary.
[Xoom Accessories] stigmax:
There is a option to actually not make it take over the entire screen.

Under options "Suppress Fullscreen Mode"
[Xoom Accessories] leoncarpenter01:
After changing that setting this has become easily my favorite app on the Xoom so far.
[Xoom Accessories] generic.imitation:
Just got thumb keyboard. Seems like it will take a little getting used to, but so far I like it. Some of the punctuation is difficult to find, but I'm sure that comes with time.

Also, I think there only needs to be a single g on the keyboard, I find myself wanting to hit h but hitting g instead.

I'm gonna play around with the settings a lil bit, see what I come up with.

Thanks for the suggestion on this keyboard :)
[Xoom Accessories] inspiron41:
I totally enjoyed using this keyboard. I wish they could let us to rearrange some of the layout. But I found I use the thumb keyboard when I'm holding it with two hands. Otherwise when the tablet is flat on the tablet I prefer the default google keyboard.
[Xoom Accessories] el_bori1:
Bought it today and I really like it. The numbers are a little hard to reach.
[Xoom Accessories] arrtoodeetoo:
Just got this app a little while ago and it's very intuitive for an OG Droid user.

Things I like:

Hold a key for alt character instead of pressing the '123@' key and switching back.

Numbers are easily accessible.

.com key!

Smileys. :-D

Directional keys.

Things I don't like:

The location of the backspace key. I'm so used to it being in the upper right that when I want to erase stuff I type pppp instead. It's also too close to the enter key.

It's a bit sensative.

some of the punctuation is oddly placed,

Otherwise, excellent app and worth the $.

XOOM'd from the XDA app.
[Xoom Accessories] greenrocks:
Bought it. Cool, thanks.

Liking it a lot. Though I just got it, I'm still not completely used to the thumb keyboard but for sure, it's more comfortable and much quicker than the default. :D
[Xoom Accessories] nswenson:
I bought this Thumb keyboard; however I'm not sure I'll keep using it. I'm not really liking the layout with the duplicate keys on both sides. Also, it seems like a big calculator, so unpleasant looking. I think the SlideIT keyboard looks pretty good. Looking forward to it's release. I think there's huge room for improvement in on screen keyboards. Why don't they give some nice visual feedback when keys are pressed? They should make it glow around the key that's pressed. Honeycomb is 2D accelerated so it should be easy for companies to make a nice looking and responsive keyboard.
[Xoom Accessories] onicrom:
i really like this keyboard, my only complaint is the spacebar....

i;ve tried adjusting its size and find making it much larger is helpful, but i still find myself missing it.

i think a great place for an additional space bar would be the blank space between the numberpad/special keys (both sides) in landscape mode.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
The Xoom is my first Android device and I saw that on the review page there is this 2D barcode. How do I use the Xoom to scan this? Maybe I am just stupid :D
[Xoom Accessories] Xevilious:
Maybe try Google Goggles?

Hope I've posted in the correct section :)

Hi guys,

How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.

I'm using a Nexus One btw.

So, could any assist me?

Thanks,

redbullcat :)
[Android] Jonathon Grigg:
I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=641223

This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.

Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

[Android] liorweitz:
You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.

Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.
[Android] Jonathon Grigg:
You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

Hi again

for information, I read the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, I guess it must be a parameter there, I could read it with a terminal emulator but I coudlnt modify, anyone know how to do it? I have only windows Xp
[Vibrant Android Development] ianandamy:
I have solved this problem for me I am not sure if this will work for everyone.

I have used pieces from other users so I can't take credit for anything, just helping the community.

I realize there are others out there that claim to do the same thing however after spending 1/2 a day doing it those ways, none worked till I did this, that is why i posted this guide, for people coming from bionix 1.31 or similar roms and using one of those guides causing a soft brick issue, this is what flashed mine back to 2.2 official firmware from a bricked state.

this will also work to flash a phone back to stock to send back for warranty if it is rooted and voodoo'ed.

Please follow this guide exactly. If a step doesn't work try again from the start then do not continue as this won't work for you.

1. your phone looks like this

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

2. in this mode your phone will be seen by this version of odin here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=478059&d=1293895557

3. dl and install the odin program works on win 7 64 bit no issues.

4. dl this ka6 update (this is a factory flash for odin) http://www.multiupload.com/GZT6ZYFX46

5. extract the ka6 zip to your desktop and rename the (.tar.mp5) file to (.tar) change the extension only DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME! < this is the trick it will not flash any other way once this is done it will flash right through.

6. open the odin program.

7. connect the phone get it to the screen like the pic in step 1.

8. the 1st ID:com box will turn yellow and have some id numbers in it.

9. click the pda button under files select the .tar file you made in step 5.

10. it will display the link to the file on your desktop in the pda text box.

11. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING OR RE_PARTITION THIS MAY NOT WORK>

12. CLICK THE START BUTTON ONLY>

13. DO NOT UNPLUG ANYTHING YOUR WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE>

14. THE PHONE AND ODIN WILL STRAT TO DISPLAY LINES THAT MOVE LEAVE THE PHONE TILL THE FIRST BLOCK ON THE TOP OF ODIN SAYS PASS IN GREEN!

15 your phone will reboot and everything will be back to stock 2.2

16. you may need to wipe your phone through the factory privacy menu reset again then all is stock.

Thanks to all the link I used.

If this works for you please click my tanks button and let me know.

[Vibrant Android Development] roumenjr:
This thread should be moved to General, no disrespect. It's simply in the wrong category. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ewidtfeldt:
I fixed this a little differently and without having to wipe my device. Figured this out after a bad kernel flash through odin. My vibrant had this screen and would not be recognized in any windows os on multiple computers with all kinds of drivers and many versions of odin.

You'll need a pc running linux. If you don't have one, temporarily boot ubuntu off a cd or usb (google it).

Install heimdall either from a binary package if your on 64 bit or compile from source like I did if you have a x86 system. We don't need the gui just the cmd application.

If you compile make sure you compile the libusb that comes with heimdall first. Also if your on ubuntu or a debian variant you will need to install build-essentials from apt or synaptic.

Now type the following command in a terminal window do not press enter:

heimdall close-pc-screen

Pull the battery from the phone put it back in and plug in the usb. Now turn the phone on and hit enter to run your command when the phone starts to turn on.

You may see the script start to run and fail or not work at all. There is a sweet spot to hit enter and run that full cmd. if it didn't work try again. Took me like five tries.

When successful your phone will just boot back into your rom as you had it. Though you may want to reinstall now since something clearly went wrong.

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] nakagusukumike:
My phone had the PHONE!PC screen and I could ODIN it back to stock, in windows. Just search for PHONE!PC and there are PLENTY of guides to this. You've got to make sure you've got NO driver/device problems in windows for this to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] ewidtfeldt:
Trust me its possible to put your phone in a state that windows will not recognize it. My post was meant to help those individuals. Thanks for your input though also.
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
It should be mentioned that you can only flash from that screen with one of the newer SBL already on the device. Otherwise you will have to get into Download Mode to ODIN. I can speak from experience when I bumped the spacebar trying to get my device into Download Mode and ODIN began to flash away. Left me with an almost completely unresponsive device. If you are unsure whether you have flashed a ROM containing the newer SBL, then you are much safer getting into Download Mode as usual and going from there. Whether it be 3-button or a JIG.
[Vibrant Android Development] ewidtfeldt:
I couldn't even jig. I solder for a living and made my own. No luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:

[Vibrant Android Development] ianandamy:
I can't answer that although I would assume if you use the official update for your galaxy phone and remove the .mp5 extention it should.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
I think all Samsung phones running android can use Odin. You will need the correct .tar and .PDA files for the phone you are using as the vibrant ones will not work on any other phone. Don't quote me on this though, its just my guess.

[Defy Accessories] 2Pints:
I often spend time away from mains power or places where i will be able to safely leave a phone ( or other gadget) plugged into the mains on charge un attended.

At the moment i hav been using a power monkey explore solar charger to keep my gadgets alive, this can charge via the its solar panel, or via the mains, and then charge my gadgets up overnight ( usually ) in my tent, so my phone is/was ready to go with a full charge in the morning, and the power monkey could then go in the sun, or sit connected, and un attended on a mains supply during the day.

Ice just done an expreiment with the power monkey explore to see how it copes with the increased demands of the Motorola Defy, and i dont think it will be able to cope as the charger has virtually exhausted itself getting my Defy from 20% to 60%, and its slightly warm to the touch.

The charger battery is rated at 2200mah, and i have had the device for a few years, so that rating may be a little lower in reality.

So has anyone got any recommendations for a portable charger/solar charger that could charge the defy from 20% up to 100% for three days or more?
[Defy Accessories] Sir Flashalot:
A 2,200mAh should do the trick on the Defy's 1,500mAh battery, otherwise the charger's battery is exhausted and needs replacement. F.e., my 1,000mAh A-solar charger adds (only) 40% max. w w w.a-solar.eu
[Defy Accessories] chaihg:
Take a look at the JBC rugged phones and the chargers they come with. It is a usb charger with a mechanical coil. You need to wind it to charge it up. Something like that will be a long term plan that will stay with actually no replacable parts.

Something like this.
[Defy Accessories] 8Ball:

Have you thought about the powergorilla or the minigorilla
[Defy Accessories] 2Pints:
The power monkey Explore test may have been a little bit short, as the unit was only charged up showing all the bars on the LCD screen, and not the green LED as well.

In the meantime ive picked up a New Trent Extreme IMP1000 with a Li-poly battery rated at 11,000Mah the unit feature a DC input jack, a power button with 3 LEDS to indicate remaining charge, and a single USB power output.

I usually plug my defy into the IMP1000 charger after a day at work, with the battery down to 40/30% let it reach 100% charge( about 1 1/2 to 2 hours) unplug it, use the DEfy in the evening then leave it hooked up overnight to the IMP1000

This will be the 3rd night that i have repeated this process with the IMP1000 and it still has 2 out of 3 LEDs left on its power gauge, phone taking charge as normal.

How about using the powerchimp but with some more powerfull AA batteries like these

http://www.picstop.co.uk/uniross-27...=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=products
[Defy Accessories] 2Pints:
I tried a powerchimp, and the batteries inside that got extremly hot ( 2,500mah GP NimH) this is usually caused by a high current drain on the batteries, and it isnt good for the batteries.

As for on the go devices so far, ive got a New trent imp1000 power pack ( which im currently testing ) a power monkey explore, a 4 AA battery USB power pack (two AA batteries in series ) a 4 AA solar charger ( chameleon) that also charges via USB, as well as 5v USB power out

As for other devices that need need power, when im away from the mains, these are: a cannon camera ( with li-ion power pack ), MP3 player, Motorola Defy

As for the New trent IMP1000 charge pack its now on Day 4, its charged my DEfy from 20% 3.681v up to 100% 4.164v in 2 hours and 20 minutes, (measured using the battery status app ) Later this evening, just before i go to bed i will hook it up again for an overnight charge, the Trent IMP1000 power pack is still showing 2 out of 3 LEDs on its power gauge.

Nokia has released a bike charger. You only have to reach about 10mph in order to reach wall socket charger efficiency (1000mA).

I believe they're about to release a micro-USB version of it. However there's an android dude already converting the existing nokia charger:

[Defy Accessories] seefu:
I use a MiniGorilla. Has inbuilt 10000mAh battery and lasts almost 2 weeks on charging my phone regularly without requiring a charge up itself.

Regular charging = ~every 2 days

It also turns itself off once the phone is fully charged to save its own battery.
[Defy Accessories] d210:
I have one of these cheap "no-name" emergency chargers than runs on 1AA battery. However I'm pleasantly surprised: it runs up to (or rather down to) 0.7-0.8V, it has reasonable efficiency (and consequently it doesn't heat up too much), might be a good option if you have to maintain some bunch of AAs already (if you have a camera with 4AAs you already need to have 8 if you want spares).

I also have 2 small solar panels but they're more of a gimmick. Sure, even the small old one will run a small radio directly but we're talking 10-20mA. The radio will otherwise run off 2AAs for countless weeks (especially if you turn it on only when listening to it), it wouldn't even make sense to run it on rechargeables.

I run the numbers based on specs on solar chargers that catch my eye occasionally and it seems that you need to charge for quite a few days from the solar panel to pay for its own size and weight; that is in ideal conditions - in reality it will be more like over 1 week, possibly more (or rather never unless we're talking some serious expedition without access to power for multiple weeks, is there even such thing nowadays?).

However this MiniGorilla looks really great. Not cheap but it will even charge notebooks (or most likely netbooks). I already marked it as a potential gift, it belongs to the category "I would never buy one but if I have it I would use it regularly" (as opposed to the category "expensive crap that ends up in the attic if I don't re-gift or ebay it quickly").

[Defy Accessories] MrBelter:
Given the low cost of good quality NiMh batteries these days i don't see the problem, if you lower the life span to only 100 charges (which is highly unlikely) its still only pennys. I use a 1 hour charger for my NiMh batteries and the batteries are too hot to handle when they come off charge and i have to say i have not noticed a shorter lifespan.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojanhacker:
I am hoping someone could answer this question since nobody has never asked before. I bought a Kingston 32GB micro sdhc card. The model number is SD-C02G made in Taiwan. When I popped in the card into the tablet, it says the card is damaged, formatting is needed. I tried to click on the format button and nothing happened. But, when I test the card on other devices (cell phone & camera & computer), it had no problems at all. No formatting or anything was needed. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to get this fixed?
