Alright so I happened across a post today that said the Camera was somehow dependent on the Email app. This wouldn't have meant anything to me, except for the fact that Barcode Scanner has been "malfunctioning" for a while now and I couldn't figure out why. So upon learning this new information, I reverted from the Galaxy Tab email app to the stock email app and viola! Everything was all peachy again.

Now, my question is this: Why would the Camera app have anything at all to do with the Email app? I know there's send picture by email and attach picture from camera and whatnot, but why would updating the email app break the camera/Barcode Scanner and if it's possible, how do I fix this?
[Captivate General] newter55:
Download this and copy the file to: /system/lib

http://db.tt/Zny9K7j

Rename the existing with ".bak" just in case.

Should be able to use any email.apk without fc on the camera after this change.

Hi, I've been wondering this for a while now but haven't been able to find an answer. If I have my Captivate SIM unlocked on my current ROM, will I still be unlocked if I flash a newer ROM onto it? Do I still have to worry about the nv_data being changed and losing the codes that unlock it?
[Captivate General] circuitjerker:
Shouldnt have a prob...i do it but with similar roms....back up nv to ur ext sd card jic. What did u use to unlock sim?..

I use Galaxy s unlock app and it does this for u then move files to ext sd or somethin similar and bavk up apps with tibu to have the option to change back later if necessary.

.:-) search around a bit.:-) :-) :-)
[Captivate General] FNHA:
Yeah I'm just planning to upgrade my Phoenix ROM to the latest version. I tried using the unlock app before but it failed, and so I used the extremely long manual process through adb and the shell. So I'm guessing I just have to back up my current nv and the unlock will be safe?
[Captivate General] circuitjerker:
From what ive read many people have reported that they remain unlocked after flashing a upgrade.....search the forums or have backups amd plans jic. Make sure.you pay attention to.your partucular series if that applies as well. Once again it doeant.effect my unlock but i also wasnt concerned i can .use.the app and figured.it qould be a easy fix

hey guys i am sick of these people that has iphone 4 and think that the iphone is the best and android is NOWHERE close to it.

i am wondering if there is any app or trick that you can crash or reset the iphone through android via bluetooth, or text message or something so i can show the iphone people that android can mess their iphone if they want lol

Are you f*cking serious? Get a life dude, who gives a sh*t if someone thinks iPhone is better than Android. What are you gonna do, 'crash' their phone, then celebrate when they stand up, start screaming in terror and declare Android superior?

You're an idiot
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Use a sms bomber app and text them.

Then celebrate by watching porn on your android.

Then scream "IPHONE doesnt have PORN or SMS BOMBER"

But no.

You cant crash them

[Android Apps and Games] vikashfoolsu:
Your best bet is an SMS bomber
[Android Apps and Games] arvinghost:
thanks for the reply guys but i already know about sms bomber and they have it also.

i was wondering if there is some terminal command or something to just reset the phone or anything funny that you can remote the iphone via android.

i don't think there is anything like that but i was just asking and thanks again for all your replies
[Android Apps and Games] encrypti0n:
Stop being an asshat and get a life dude. you'd hae to SSH into their phone, and for that you would need their root PW and you would also need an address to SSH into to, and good luck getting that. Also even if you got in you'd have to hope that the terminal implement(I believe it is a modified bash) has the proper commands to "crash" their phones. instead of wasting sever space and everyone's time with your silly questions and do something productive, because all it sounds like is you are trying to build up some cred for yourself as some sort of "hacker". You come her, and you want everyone to do the work for you, so you can crash the cool kids iPhone at school. get a life:)

This is not a "simple question."

[Android Apps and Games] lws803:
Nope there's no way to remotely crash an Iphone. SMS bomber only irritates them, but i think some of them have bombers too thats why we use anti spam filters. Hmmm but seriously, is there a way the Iphone can get overloaded and hang or crash?
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Take their iphone, and throw it on the ground from a 6 story-foot building.

It's freeze.
[Android Apps and Games] lws803:
I know about that lolz. Anyway seriously anyway to crash their software? Without them noticing is good enough already. Or how about developing an IOS app that can overheat and overload the Iphone's processors and battery.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
no, that wouldn't work specifically because Apple is STRICT on their app store.

If your friend is jailbroken, you can try to make a app that would do that, but it'd be pointless.

you'd lose a friend (he'll probably know it was you)
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:

[General Topics] phateshawn:
I think my qualcomm mobile development platform MSM8655 based android phone has been bricked. I was trying to install browser.apk on my phone from my computer using adb. I followed the instructions below.

adb push (location of stock Browser.apk) /system/app/Browser.apk

adb shell

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

sync

For some reason, when I was "mounting" the phone, it gave me a message that " the device is busy". I still went ahead and did the "sync".

After that, I switched off the phone. When I tried to switch on the phone, nothing comes on the screen. Not even the android logo!

I tried to do a hard reset by holding both the power and volume up button. But it still didnot work.

In some forums, I read that this problem may occur because of USB charging. They had suggested to charge the phone using the plug and removing the battery and placing it again. I tried it and it also did not work.

I did found that adb is detecting the device. Is there anything that I can do using adb?

I am very desperate. Please help me.. Thanks
[General Topics] tntexplosivesltd:
So you went ahead after if hadn't mounted the device. That means what you thought you put onto what you were trying to mount hasn't gone there at all.
[General Topics] phateshawn:
Update

I guess you are right about it. I think the browser.apk which I was trying to install did not get installed.

Anyway, I went ahead and tried to do some debugging using adb. When I typed "adb logcat *:W", I am seeing an error message saying "Error preloading android.webkit.WebViewCore". Can anybody decipher the meaning of this? Thanks for the help
[General Topics] phateshawn:
Update

I think my phone is stuck in a boot loop. The adb log message keeps printing the stuff below. Can anybody decipher the meaning of it? I think it has to do something with the browser installation which I was playing with.

I don't have a custom recovery or nandroid backup. So I am in a big soup. Please help me. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated...

[Xoom General] f1restarter:
So after watching Apple royally screwing up the launch for their customers (not themselves, of course), I decided to give the Xoom a try. I had already tried the original iPad and really loved it for what it could do, especially the battery life which was simply amazing.

Funny thing is, I'm really enjoying the web experience of the Xoom more than the iPad. I just hated the checkerboard while scrolling but I guess the iPad 2's engine has solved that problem. I also am enjoying the Xoom's speakers which are much louder than the iPad as that was one of my main issues since I like listening to the talk radio while in the shower. One thing I have noticed is that there seem to be more free apps for the Android than on the iOS side which is another huge plus.

I have read that many Xoom users were having issues with the browser crashing but so far after using it almost all day I have experienced just one force close. I agree with those that say the Xoom feels like a half baked product or was launched a bit too soon but if Google's commitment to their android OS is any indication then I see no reason why the Xoom can't become a serious iPad 2 competitor.

I have been using the Xoom since about 12:30pm and the battery finally died around 8:30pm, not bad at all but still nothing compared to the iPad which gave me almost 11 hours for the same type of use i.e web surfing and watching some videos on Youtube. Before I bought the Xoom I also played around with the new iPad 2 which was on display at my local BestBuy store and I really liked the design but something about the widgets that just seemed so boring compared to the honeycomb.

Yes I know the iPad 2 just spanks the Xoom as far as graphics go, according to Anandtech but then I never use the tablet for gaming. For that I have my 2010 Mac Pro and I don't really game much even on that. For me the Xoom is full of potential and because of that reason is a gamble while the iPad is safe territory but the potential is somewhat limited.

From the reviews/comments I thought I would really hate the Xoom but so far I'm really having fun with this thing! :)
[Xoom General] eallan:
It took me a couple weeks to notice the browser issues. I've actually had quite a few browser related problems since then. The Xoom is a riot. I love Honeycomb.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
The Xoom is for geeks and techies. IPad is for ggeneral population
[Xoom General] kiwiruss:
ipad2 for wife and xoom for me.

Well put.

My wife wanted a tablet for movies and games and is heavily invested in itunes, so the Ipad2 was her choice.

I, on the other hand, and an android geek and so the Xoom was wht I got this weekend.

I really dislike the whole Itunes echosystem and like my media to be portable to as many devices as possible (My pc, my phone and my tablet and my laptop).
[Xoom General] papapena25:
you made the right choice
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
I have the same setup and it works great. Why only have one when you can have both? Each one has its strengths but I personally use the Xoom and wife uses ipad
[Xoom General] stanglx:
To be honest.. My experience with the Android platform was very short lived. Now I will admit I was running a GTablet (Tegra 2, etc.) with Froyo.

What I found was

General instability - Didnt crash all that much, maybe once or twice over a 10 hour period. In this day in age, crashing is unacceptable - especially for a $400 plus device.

Lack Luster SDK - I didnt find the SDK all that polished. I was surprised to see how much deprication there was and how little developers did not adhere to new develop APIs. One thing that still perplexes me is that the depricated APIs were being suppressed by Google during compile within the Android Framework!!! This caused a bunch of issues on the GTablet - easy to fix but still..

Market - Mostly poor applications - For a platform that has been around now for a while I found over 70% of applications were of poor quality. Either they were unstable, unusable or just down right JUNK. Dont get me wrong I was attracted to the Android platform due to its openness but honestly I also want quality.

Fragmentation - I noticed that though a robust SDK it didn't absorb well the various platforms. Each platform needs to be tweaked for that device to properly work. Typically this should be absorbed by the framework... This lends to the reason why most wait for fixes from their cellular vendors/phone manufactorers and not from Google. I think this is a big mistake. Eventually Google will cave in due to the poor implementation quality from these 3rd party vendors. Information Security will drive this..

Performance - Generally OK but I found too much overhead from the OS and Framework. The OS and framework need some optimization. This will reduce the need of a tablet having 1GB of ram... That is insane for a device like this!

Anyway.... Soo I ended up selling the GTablet and just picked up a IPAD 2... All I can say is that they are in two difference classes - this coming from a Linux/Java developer...

I will eventually head back to Android once it becomes more mature as I am most comfortable in that environment - until I want a tablet that I can be productive with, less on the fiddling side.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
^

I've noticed that unless an application comes from a major company, more than likely it will look horrible or just "unkept". Obviously as I have said "more than likely" there are a few exceptions, but other than that many Android applications simply don't match their iOS relatives in terms of aesthetic appeal. Or even overall quality for that matter. I'm shocked that Android doesn't receive horrible backlash from this.

To make things worse, you were using 2.2 on a tablet. Pre-3.0 versions of Android on tablet devices simply fail to even rival the iPad. I wouldn't even choose one myself despite my undying love for Android.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Choice is amazing isn't it. Nobody made a rule you can only pick one and be stuck with it. I agree apps on IOS are superior in general to Android but everything else on Android is better than IOS. The notification system and half ass mutiltasking on IOS alone drives me crazy. Also most apps on IOS are used a bunch in the beginning and then never again, there was even a study on this a while ago. So I only have a few things I do frequently and the Xoom does them excellently.
[Xoom General] f1restarter:
ok one issue I have noticed while watching video streams on the Xoom is that the quality seems blurry. On the original iPad the same videos looked very clear and sharp. I watch Twit.live and revision 3 and while they were pretty sharp on the iPad, they just look blurry on the Xoom. What's going on here? Is that related to H.264 issue? I heard there will be a fix for that but I'm not sure. On the positive side tethering the Xoom to my T-Mobile Vibrant was effortless and worked beautifully!
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Are you using flash or HTML5? If it's flash, all the videos are blurry with the leaked 10.2 Flash apk. I'm hoping it's fixed in the final version. HTML5 videos look great although keep in mind the XOOM has a much higher res display than iPad (1280x800 vs 1024x768) and a bigger screen so if the video is low quality it will show on the XOOM and not on the iPad.
[Xoom General] f1restarter:
Ahh the high res screen. That makes sense! Yes I'm using html 5 and had my dolphin HD browser set to "iPad" in the UA. I had installed the leaked flash apk but it just seemed like a huge mess with it not being touch friendly at all, so I uninstalled it and am hoping they improve flash before releasing it officially. Personally I'm just hoping google would simply get rid of flash crap once and for all and just go with HTML 5.
[Xoom General] el_bori1:
I got the Xoom and I love it. Once we get the update for official flash and the SD card this thing is going to rock. I have a Samsung Fascinate and I would never buy another Samsung phone.

I love my xoom! Every time I think I may want to trade it for the iPad2 because maybe iOs has better apps or a better gpu, I think what am I going to be doing 90% of the time on my tablet, browser and gmail. Which does this the best hands down? Xoom!!! Plus the xoom is Google's reference hardware and will be updated quicky and often! The rest will come!
