[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
I'm picking up the Motorola Xoom Wifi when Sam's Club gets it this month (hopefully), and I'm playing around with my options for wifi tethering on my Evo. I'm running mikfroyo 4.5, and I feel that the hacked sprint hotspot offers the best battery life and internetspeeds, but it doesnt support 4g. Sometimes I'll be in an area where 4g speeds are in excess of 1 megabyte (yes byte) per second and want to take advantage of that. The wireless tether for root users seems to drain and heat up the battery quite a bit and it doesnt seem as fast as the sprint hotspot app. Short of paying sprint an extra 30 bucks a month (at which point I'd rather just activate the xoom under verizon) what do you recommend?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
No preferance?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Unfortunately those are pretty much your only options. Easy Tether, Wireless Tether, or the hacked stock tether. There's no way around it, wifi tethering uses a lot of battery. Your phone is using both the 3g/4g radio and the wifi radio.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmitchell4209:
Now after using unrevoked does the hotspot work or do you have to flash a rom that has the hotspot hacked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heythatsghetto:
If you are rooted than you can just download wireless tether from the market.

Wireless tether is undoubtedly faster because it supports 4g. I found my phone only really gets too hot whem I download several gigs worth of data. Ive had my phone creep past the 140° f mark, at that point some internal safety thing kicked on and stopped the phone from charging. Phone survived without any notable longterm damage, but it was scary
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmitchell4209:
Thanx for the info
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
If you stay on the stock rom, you will have to download Wireless Tether. The sprint hotspot only works for free with other custom roms.

hey im running CM7 nightly and my wifi tether does not work anymore...when i had CM 6.1 it ws workin fine but not anymore...any ideas
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It would help if you told us what method you are using to tether. Wireless Tether, stock tether, etc...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It seems to be wireless tether. Its broken for a lot of users on CM7 at this point; I'd recommend using the built in hotspot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisPeezy:
So I've installed a few different roms along with their respective mods for different workspaces, rosies, etc...

1. My question is, after installing these mod files, is it required that I keep these files on the root of my SD in order for the mods to remain?

2. Oh also, is it really necessary for these files to be in the root of the SD card since CWM can navigate through folders to install? (I was just wondering)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Once the mods are installed the zips can be deleted unless you plan on using them again..... and the files don't have to be on the root. recovery can navigate folders.... hope this helps.....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polly69:
I have a rooted Desire that was originally on Virgin UK, it had the boot screen and some Virgin apps but wasn't locked to any network. The problem is I never backed up my original rom and after being on a rooted phone now for ages I want to return it to a standard 2.2 stock unbranded rom but because im new to all this, I have no idea how its done or where to get the rom from. I asked this question on Modaco and someone gave me a link to what was meant to be a stock UK rom but when I extracted it it was a HTC app which I had no idea what to do with when I ran it it looked for my phone but I was to scared to plug it in incase it bricked my phone, I was expecting a rom that was installed from my SD card. Was I suppose to plug in my phone and allow this HTC app to return my rooted phone to stock? if not what do I do to return it to a unbranded 2.2 and where do I get the rom/app from.

Cheers

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
I think he's talking about the RAM. Android manages memory different than OS X or Windows. Full is actually good. People are always going overboard with task killers trying to free up RAM. Android will free up RAM as necessary, so you really shouldn't ever have to worry about it. Unlike Windows when it gets full it puts memory into swap on the HDD slowing it down. Android will just quit the app, because you haven't used it in a while.

Just for reference I have 246MB available on CM7 with a fresh boot. After using it a few hours, I generally have about 90MB free on average.
[EVO 4G General] JoeLithium:
Alright so I've been a skeptial bastard about some of the posts about the Evo getting Gingerbread and the new HTC Sense UI. I took the liberty of emailing HTC as well. I know other people have also, but I found those responses from HTC to be vague and didn't hold well with me. I emailed HTC on their website with a straightforward question. Will the Evo get gingerbread. This is their response.

That's official enough for me. They did say we might not get the updated sense UI though. But I suppose that's to be expected. At least we have some news here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
Man this phone takes some work.

I have a nexus s and after some work figuring things out I've flashed a lot of roms and themes, and it's all been pretty simple.

My wife has the i9000 and after she saw what I'd done with my phone she asked me to root it and install a custom rom, which I have now done (Darky's Extreme - nice rom).

But, it was much harder than the nexus s. Had to use odin to root it, and the risk of bricking the phone seems to be much much higher than on the nexus s. Also, ClockworkMod was harder to install. Maybe I didn't do it right, but in order to make it run when I go into recovery I have to run update.zip first.

Is this because of samsung's changes to the android os??

I'm sure it will become easier once I've worked with it more, but I was surprised at how much thinking and reading it took to get it done.

Also really surprised that there isn't a final stable version of cyanogen mod for this phone as it's been out a while. What's the reason for this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
Nexus S is a google phone, it's designed to be able to run any thing you want. Whereas the SGS isn't. Sources are available for the Nexus S which is why CM7 is easier to develop for it. The risk of bricking the SGS is basically nil if you have 3 button recovery or a jig.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well if you did flash a custom kernel first you could install darkyys without problem.

You did alot more then needed.

Anyone else using the built in mail app w/ Exchange and it not showing subfolders or any other folders than the inbox/trash/sent items/ and starred items?

Nope. Exchange sync works just fine right out of the box.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsexkey:
I also dont see all of my folders.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HokiePerogi:
I am having the same issues. My folders are not sub folders in the inbox. Instead, they sit along side of the inbox folder in the hierarchy. This is how Mail.app creates them in OSX. My searches have not been very fruitful except for some forum posts from last summer stating people had the same issue on their HTC phones and HTC blames Android itself. I find this hard to believe since my Droid X Exchange sync, with the same exact Exchange server, worked flawlessly.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
Agreed. OP, check to see how the desktop client is managing your mailbox.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HokiePerogi:
Root Cause

All,

I think I've finally found a page which describes the root of the issue:

<can't post link, but look for issue id 9017 in the google code android project.>

In this page, it states that Androids Exchange support will only sync folders of type 12 ("User-created Mail"). It seems that when a user creates folders with Mail.app in OSX by using the "New Mailbox" command, the folders show up in Exchange as folder type 1 instead ("User-created folder (generic)").

The work around is to get your Exchange account hooked up to Outlook, at least temporarily. While in Outlook, rename all your Mail.app created folders as <folder_name>_old (or something similar). Then, create the folder again, this time with regular name using Outlook's "New Folder" functionality. Finally, drag all of the mail items out of the "..._old" folder and into the new folder you just created.

Once Outlook finishes syncing these changes with the Exchange server, you should now be able to see the folders within the stock Android mail program.

Apparently, according to the bug report, this issue is replicated both in the stock Android Mail application and the HTC Sense version of the Mail application. It needs to be fixed or enhanced in both applications.

thanks! been trying to solve this forever. appreciate it HokiePerogi
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honki24:
Thank you! That worked for me! Go into the Outlook Web App online and create new folders and move your emails into those folders. These newly made folders now show up on my S3's stock exchange app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmandeepG:
Using OSMontitor, my kswapd0 process is taking 50-100% of the CPU. I also have bad battery life (10% drain per hour, when the phone is just in my pocket).

What could be causing this? I have lagfix enabled for everything including /system. And I'm using K13A Speedmod
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_patil:
Did you monitor is shutting down that process for a day but doing pretty much everything else that you normally do? 10% an hour converts to about 10 hours of battery life and if you are not using Wi-Fi and wathcing videos on your phone/browsing even for sometime, it really isn't that bad.

I get about 15 hours from my battery but I don turn off my wi-fi for sometime during the day.

Hi everybody! SPB shell is the most good lookin launcher that I ever seen :D realy :D everything is looking perfect and its easy to handle! I try it and i enjoy it :D

You have to instal the apk file and launch the app presing the home button and choose SPB shell (set it as default, when not it will not work, you can change it in settings/applications/manage aplications/spb shell/ reset default/ )

and you must active it, and then will appear "Unsupported device" click OK just reboot your phone and activate it again, when the next time appears "Unsupported device" click again OK and it will work!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylemert:
I was getting ready to install my first ROM and wanted to make sure that I had everything ready to go. I searched but wasn't sure on a definitive answer.

I'm on a Droid Incredible, Rooted, Titanium Backup installed, ClockworkMod updated to 3.0.0.5 using ROM Manager. I created a CWM recovery and backed up both data and apps with Ti Backup. I planned on flashing to the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM using ROM Manager. From what I understand I will flash the stock ROM off and it will install the new ROM. What I'm not sure about is how I get the backed up data/apps reinstalled after the new ROM installed. Also, does the ROM flashing delete all data on internal/SD memory or only the ROM data?

Sorry if this has been answered already. I've read everything I could find on rooting and installing new roms and still not sure on this last step.

Thanks,

Will pictures, texts, contacts, etc all be flashed? Mainly trying to determine what I need to pull and what can stay on internal/sd card
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Pictures should be fine, as long as the SD card and EMMC don't get formatted. Texts however will all be deleted, as they are located in the system. I use SMS backup + from the market, it backs them up to GMail. Works perfectly.

For contacts, I would export them to the SD card (menu - export), but I always have all of mine sync to Google. That way they always auto restore when I flash ROM's.

But as always, I would definitely back up any important pictures you have anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylemert:
I have contacts synced to my Google account. I think I have a pretty good handle on how everything will react. Thanks for the help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Also, you really should upgrade to CWM 3.0.0.8, in Rom Manager scroll down to all recoveries, and choose 3.0.0.8. 3.0.0.5 has some wiping issues that can cause a lot of problems. That way when you wipe, it actually wipes :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryous:
Also, your not flashing the rom off, your flashing the new rom over the old one and that erases it

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broons:
Flashing a new Rom won't touch your SD card unless u specifically format SD. With cwm 3.x I usually wipe data/cache 2-3 times as there was an issue with it not wiping properly at one point. Supposedly its fixed but I like to err on the side of caution. With titanium I think its generally ok to restore data on the items in green but not any in red. I have yet to have issues doing things that way ymmv.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinokirk:
Hi folks,

I am interested in developing for the Binatone iDect iHome, a very little know home phone with Android on it.

I emailed Binatone asking for the source code but the response I got was:

'The Android operating system is developed by Google. You would need to contact them with any questions about they system.'

Where do I stand, what can I say to them to make them comply with the GPL? What happens if they refuse to release it, is there a section of UK law that can be applied?

Please, if anyone could give me any pointers I would really appreciate it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinokirk:
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do when a company does not adhere to the GPL?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aceoyame:
The OS itself is open source, that does not mean the kernel has to be open source, nor do they really have to provide you any support. I think they were perhaps thinking that you wanted the OS source?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinokirk:
I'm not too sure of the specifics. All I know is that if a company uses Android on their device they have to release the source code for it.

When I had my Dell Streak, there was a big 'fight' with Dell as they hadn't released the source code. But they eventually released it, and now its available here:

http://opensource.dell.com/releases/streak/

So what source code does a company have to release to comply with the GPL?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinokirk:
Anyone have any ideas what to do here?

I was under the impression that Android is published under the GPL.

The likes of Samsung and Dell etc all publish their source code.
