[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
There was a app called USB tethering that I think was made by the same team that made the wireless tether app. I tried it last year and it worked on the evo.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
It depends. If you're using a ROM that has the USB tethering unlocked, you should be able to just plug into your computer, then when the prompt on your phone pops up, select usb tethering. Wait 1-3 minutes, and it should have a connection. That works fine for me, and I just tried againr ight now. If you're not using a rom that has usb tethering unlocked, there is an app called PDAnet, that works great for tethering. It has a trial period, then after the trial period it only lets you on non secure sites, so you'd need to upgrade to the 'pro version'. There is also an app called EasyTether, that I believe is free and also works great for tethering.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
EasyTether does work well, but the free app won't let you go to https pages, so you won't be able to, say, check a gmail account with it. You can upgrade to the pro version to see those pages, though it'll cost you 10 clams.
[HD2 General] GeoMil:
A lady friend of mine wants to ditch her iPhone and cum party with the android boys.

HD2 is an obvious suggestion, but I think its a bit geeky for her. I will probably put cyanogen on it for her, but that will be it; no flashing new roms every week.

So what would you guys recommend? Front runners at the moment are :

Nexus S

White desire

PS in the uk

Don't use any android flashed device for your sexy blonde, Iphone is more sexy, but indeed less geeky :P
[HD2 General] orangekid:
The Nexus S is by far the sexiest Android device and currently the best on the market IMO,

I'd get a Nexus S.

The second sexiest device ever IMO is the Nexus One, which is actually better in some ways because it can run Sense.

so you might get a Nexus One, root it, flash a stable DHD ROM and you're good to go. remember that along with the awesome things it has to offer, it also has the multi-color lighted track ball, my girlfriend is crazy about that aspect of her Nexus.
[HD2 General] ptrics:
+3 :p:D hehehehe
[HD2 General] GeoMil:
Haha, thanks for replies.

I think its a bit silly to buy iPhone 4 now with the update so close. Also iPhones are significantly more expensive (buying similar free)

Also considering desire s.

I wonder if its worth the extra money getting the nexus s when you can get an original desire and put cyanogen on it.

Will deliver pics with purchase....
[HD2 General] manjacha:
+4 hehehehe
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
I have to say, for stock user experience, the best android phone you can get is the nexus s. So far there have been no "big" problems with it, atleast currently.

However I think for overall satisfaction, i'd go for the galaxy s. If rooted and with lagfixes/tweaks and flashed a custom rom, the phone is a really nice and smooth.

However one thing i'd say about the HD2 is it's so hackable, you can try WP7, winmo or android, all on one phone. The experience might not be as good as a true android/WP7 device, but it's good enough for daily use. Plus I think it has a top of the class 5MP camera. Atleast it performs alot better than the captivate i'm using right now.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] enigma0456:
I switched from tnt-lite to Vegan and I like it - except the keyboard isn't as good. I see that there are presently two other keyboards when I go to the config page but there is no check box to select them. Searching around it seems that the way to make them work is to manually copy the keyboard apk from /data/app to /system/app - at least that is the consensus of the posts I have seen. Well, looking at my sdcard I can see a /data folder with no sub directory app but there are apk files in the data folder that I recognize so perhaps the instructions mean to copy the apk file from the data to the system folder? I'd give that a try but there is no system folder (showing). I poked around with a couple of different file explorers but nada. I thought I would be clever and explore from my PC by plugging in in usb mode but still I find no system folder. I'm guessing it is hidden but I thought the g-tab was rooted by default so shouldn't I be able to see it. So - what I really want is just to change out the keyboard so if you know how post that but just on principle now I'd like to find out if there is a system folder, where it is and how to get into it. Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gunkle:
/ *** is location relative to your base memory of your device (in this case your tablet).

/ by itself is called root. or your root directory. (think My Computer in windows). Everything on or connected to your device is located at /somethingorother.

/sdcard is typically where your sdcard is. Depending on your rom it might be your internal memory.

/emmc is where your internal memory is (maybe depending on your rom)

/system is where your base operation system files are located.

/sdcard/data is the location you referred to as being a data folder on your sdcard.

/data is where your phone stores data. Where internally installed apps go

if you open your favorite file manager you will see your location usually as /sdcard or home, mnt, sdcard or /mnt/sdcard it depends on your file manager. you need to "go up" a few folders to get to your root folder to find /system.

Hope i didn't make that more confusing then it actually is. Sorry if I did.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] enigma0456:
And the light clicks on ...

For some reason I was under the impression that everything had to happen down at the sd card level. I did work my way "up" and there was a system folder with apps in it! Another post said I had to make the folder RW but even though I was using terminal emulator the system was having none of that - "no sudo for you!" I went back to trolling the forum and WAY inside I found a post that was unclear to me but I tried it and IT WORKED (this is the original question about getting the keyboards to work). In my Settings/Language&Keyboard I see three keyboards:NI Keyboard, Tap 'n Tap Western Keyboard and Android Keyboard. It would look like a long press would allow you to select one but that is not the case. Having large hands, the android keyboard which seemed to be the default on my Vegan installation, was the only thing I didn't like about Vegan. The Tap n' Tap one that I had been using on TNT Lite fit me much better. So blah blah blah.... To select another keyboard you open up something that pops up a keyboard - I used Quick Office but any keyboard call seems to work. Long Press in the text area and up comes a menu for Input Method and on it were my three keyboards. The android was selected so I chose the tap n' tap instead. Apparently that switched the default and now the tap 'n tap is my new default. Problem solved. As for accessing the folders off of root - well that is a project for another day.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gunkle:
Well glad you got it working. If your tab is rooted then i recomend root explorer as good file manager. You can quickly change folders from r/o to r/w in one click as you explore it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] P00r:
Vegan support my other keyboard without issue (in fact it's the only rom I found) maybe you didn't wipe before flashing ?

Also root of the device is NOT accessible by usb unless you mean ADB...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbarrett:
On the Evo, some revs of the touch sensor support 5-point multi-touch, but it took a custom kernel to make this available to apps.

Does anybody know if the hardware on the Gen8 tablets (in particular the 101) is limited to 2 points, or if it could possibly do more with a custom kernel?

It would be cool to do things like piano chords with so much space available.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N23:
I don't think its possible - if you touch with > 2 fingers it looses all touch points...

the build-in touchscreen controller does only support dual touch (like the joojoo, wetab, hanvon b10 and so on)... a better one would be more expensive.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teorigoni:
Hi Guys,

Looking at the different OTA packages available, and the files provided with Odin in order to flash back to stock the Nexus S, I can see that there's a file called "dgs.img" that is never reflashed/touched using the OTA files provided by Google.

In order to reflash dgs.img you need to use Odin and select the CSC part.

Do you know what's inside that img?

Looking at the fastboot screen of 2.3.3 I can see an info called "CARRIER - ", the American T-Mobile Nexus S has "TMO" written on it, the I9023 sold in Europe by Vodafone has "Vodafone".

Reflashing the CSC with the file provided in this forum (as far as I know, given by a Service Centre in UK), the Carrier info become "EUR"

Is there a way to look inside that image and have a look at it?

thanks!

Cheers,

T.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsrogers:
Now I have the same question now...Since I can't unyaffs it...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsrogers:
OK man, I figured it out~after a showering time ^_^

Use notepad to open the dgs.img, the world is bright!~~

How I figured this out? Firstly I unyaffs-ed the img and got the note" broken img file", and I am quite puzzled with the size, 1k...seems a bit too small for a img?

after that I read something about csc changing under I9000~

And in the end, when I was showering, a thought just came to me: this is not a img file, just a text file.

I tried, and I am right!~

Cheers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsrogers:
OK, I successfully changed the carrier info to TMO. Open this file in Hex Workplace and change the EUR numbers to the 54 4D 4F, and everything is fine now~~

The reason why just can't edit under notepad is because it will change the 00 between two TMOs to 20, so this leads the problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teorigoni:
yes... just guessing what's the difference for example between the EUR and VDF version in terms of phone behaviour... maybe OTA update availability??
[Nook Color General] jstraten:
Ok. I finally got a Nook Color, rooted it using AutoNooter 3 and played around with Honeycomb. Now, I got some questions:

1. Can I watch Hulu on the Nook Color?

If I am not mistaken this will require flash and flash is only available on Froyo. Is that correct? Will Hulu run on Froyo?

2. Why is YouTube/Flash/Hulu not available on phiremod or HC?

I am guessing on HC it is not available because it is not based on source code? But what is the problem with phiremod?

3. I understand that some ROMs can be flashed. So far I only tried to run ROMs from my SD card. In the past it used to be a problem that devices can only be flashed so and so often. Is that still the case?

I searched the forum, but my questions were not fully answered.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,

Jens
[Nook Color General] jstraten:
Looks like nobody had the time to answer my questions or maybe I just asked too many... ;)

Meanwhile, I could answer some of my questions on my own:

1. Can I watch Hulu on the Nook Color?

Maybe. I got Flash to work on Froyo, but Hulu checks for Android and blocks access. The solution seems to be a browser called Skyfire and I can find it as an Android application using Google, but it doesn't show up in my marketplace application.

Not sure how to proceed from there...

2. Why is YouTube/Flash/Hulu not available on phiremod or HC?

It seems that on HC flash hasn't been published yet and/or it is not compatible with the "re-engineered" version running on Nook Color.

Still no clue why it doesn't work on phiremod...

3. I understand that some ROMs can be flashed. So far I only tried to run ROMs from my SD card. In the past it used to be a problem that devices can only be flashed so and so often. Is that still the case?

Does anybody know the answer???

Cheers,

Jens
[Nook Color General] DigitalMD:
Youtube is not working yet on HC or GB based ROMs because the hardware DSP drivers are not finished and that is needed to decode video.

The useful lifecycles for the internal flash memory in moden devices should far exceed your ability to flash new ROMs so nothing to worry about, flash to your hearts content.
[Nook Color General] GreenXSniper:
Phiremod is based off of CM7, so whatever doesnt work im CM7 generally doesnt work in phiremod, The youtube thing is baiscally what the guy above me said, DSP drivers.
[Nook Color General] actorman46:
Yeah, flash away. I've done it so many times I've lost count. The nook is great for learning how to do that stuff.
[Nook Color General] YamJoker:
Hey another noob here I know that you can get hulu to work on nookiefroyo i think i googled android flash and there was a patched flash and another app that allowed it to work. I ran this off an sd card and the hulu experience was abysmal but it did work this was with a non oced kernel though
[Nook Color General] jstraten:
Thanks for all the replies. I will go ahead and flash my nook tonight. :)

I got flash working, but how did you get around the android hulu check? I mean I am reading that Skyfire can do it, but Skyfire doesn't show up in the Market application.

Anyhow, I guess we are still early in the game and so we will probably still see some big improvements in the near future.

Cheers,

Jens
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
yeah, I too would like to know how you got Hulu working? as for Skyfire, last time I checked Hulu blocked that browser completely (as it was working for a while). I could be wrong and they may have changed Skyfire to work again.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
Use the dolphin browser. It has the ability to pretend to be another device, including a desktop.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Hulu detects OS not just browser, therefore changing dolphin browser to desktop does nothing for hulu.
[Nook Color General] mech_egr:
There is a hulu "app" for certain 2.2 phones. This might be something to look into though I admit I've only used it and I don't know the technical background of it.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Hulu and Netflix are the last two things I really want on Android, but I also understand why we may never see support on the Nook (not only is the nook not officially a tablet, but it also will now be considered older technology)

[Windows Phone 7 General] agreen123:
Hey guys - I have a question! I officially have an iPhone 4 with AT&T (that's what they have me listed as having). But I bought a Samsung Focus, and with the help of an adapter, have been swapping out my iPhone SIM card to use in my WP7 phone (I need to switch back and forth for work, occasionally).

The problem is, although I keep checking, my WP7 phone keeps showing that there is no update available for it... and I'm assuming its because AT&T has me listed as owning an iPhone 4 and not a Focus, and therefor they're not telling the phone that an update is available.

Am I correct? If so, is there another way I can get the update(s) for my WP7 phone?

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated...!

Just following up here; has the "Update The Updater" update come through for US users yet? To date, I've received NO updates for my phone whatsoever (I have an "unlocked" Samsung Focus that's using my iPhone 4 SIM).

With all this discussion about the NoDo update with Cut and Paste, I haven't even gotten the first update yet. Just thinking that's a little weird...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
If you haven't already gotten the pre-update then you probably won't get it separately. It will be bundled with the NoDo update and once the NoDo update starts getting pushed out trust me you will know. Twitter, this board, other boards and tech blogs will be filled with "OMFG NODO!" posts.
[General Questions and Answers] AirborneJared:
I have an original Droid X that I had flashed Rubix Focused 2.0 onto and it was working fine but i decided I wanted to go back to my original backup that I had created using ROM Manager, after going into Clockwork Recovery to wipe my data and my cache. I then attempted to go into the restore section of Clockwork Recovery and restore from my original backup. However after several attempts of trying this process I cannot get my phone to restore from that backup file which happens to be my only backup. My phone seems to get stuck on webview.db

I am not sure what this process is that it keeps getting stuck on however it is preventing me from going back to my original backup and thus my phone is completely useless. Any ideas on how to work around this issue or fix it so I can have my regular DX back?

It is an "unlocked" version of Skype, I think originally for Verizon. With this unlocked apk you can also place calls on 3G. Others have reported this working on the Atrix. I have it on mine but being new to Skype I have not yet tried it properly. You do not need root but since att blocks non-market apps you will need to "sideload" it.

The fastest way, assuming that you have an external SD card reader and can put this file on your SD from your computer is the following:

Download This : TMobile Update Thanks to BeachHead for modifying it.

Once downloaded rename it to Update.zip.

Place in root of SDCard.

Hold the volume down button and turn the phone on. Press in the corner to get into the recovery mode. On the options select the update.zip. Let the process begin. The file is modified to not check for things. This will reload all of the firmware as well as the system. After that is done, do a factory reset. Your phone should now boot to 2.2 . If this does not work let me know and I'll do the more involved guide.
