There is a package you can install in sdk for usb drivers. Dl it

Open odin

Get into dl mode

Unknown device pops up

Click on it

choose custom drivers

Navigate to c drive/program files/android/extras/google add ons/usb click ok (the path may be slightly different) the computer should try to install the correct drivers

If it works odin should now recognize your device. If not I got nothing

CM7
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestivo:
Got the USB drivers from the SDK and tried to force them when it sees an unknown device, but I get "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware"

I tried to force it to use the samsung drivers also but without success.

Is it possible to just download a rom or kernel and update my current state? So that the phone at least boots. I can install stuff through recovery. Download mode is nice and everything but I'm giving up on it, don't have any more ideas to try :(

I have been trying to see data on my sdcard from ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 I go to

Mounts and Storage -> mount /mnt/sdcard

Install *.zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard

I don't see /mnt at all I try and go under sd/ but it says No files found.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1tontomato:
Under mounts and storage do you see the option for mount usb this might be able to force your computer to see it as a removable drive. If out does you should be able to copy another rom to the sd and flash. This may or may not work for you because you might still need to repartition which you only do with odin. Take this advise with extreme caution I really think you need odin If you do decide to flash another rom, use cognition because Dg's includes the fixed boot.bin. Probably because so many people use the one click and kill their button combos and don't know it. Other devs don't include it in their roms, because it's dangerous to over write something that doesn't need to be overwritten. Good luck

I tried already the usb mount option from recovery at home and now at work also on few different systems/ports including a linux machine. I don't see the drive connected.

My only option left is to get somehow the sdcard mounted and install a rom from there. Or maybe just repartitioning/changing the filesystem might fix the getting stuck problem.

Finishing up the story in case it might help somebody in the feature.

I called AT&T to get my phone replaced and it turns out it has liquid dmg. There's a little white sticky that turns red when there's liquid dmg. Mine was pink but wasn't wait so no warranty for me. Turns out most of the time people get liquid dmg is if they leave the phone in the bathroom or close to the kitchen's sink, which is kinda bs but whatever.

I've tried few more times. Tried even on a Mac and on a Linux system (using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265 )

I was about to give up and go seek one of the 'professional rooters' but last thing I tried was to use an 'air duster' and clean the usb port on my phone. After that Odin was able to see my phone. The connection was dropping on/off but it successfully finished a flash.

Not sure if I should even try to put another rom or the official froyo update but at least for now I'm up and running :)

Thanks all

I just got the touchstone mod working on my mesmerize. i will be posting a tutorial soon. it works great. no negatives so far:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
What is the"touchstone mod?" I haven't heard of it. Glad you plan on posting a tutorial on how to do it. Let me know if you want someone else to try it out I'll gladly give it a try.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I wasn't sure either, a quick Google search told me that it's possibly a physical MOD for getting the phone to work with the wireless touchstone charger (induction maybe?) I didn't look too far into it after that, but sounds pretty cool :)

Yeah I just googled it too couldn't find anything thru xda search tho

Just an update. Still haven't gotten arround to the tutorial. But it is still up and running and working great. No problems so far. Even have a zagg on the back of the phone. Still works

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
This has been posted before but I thought I would do a quick and easy how to, for those that don't have this working yet.

You can use GoogleVoice and sipdroid to make free calls from your tab as long as you have either a good wifi or 3G connection.

First Download GooglVoice and set it up, if you haven't already.

Second Download SipDroid from the android market (free).

Open sipdroid, there will be an option to set up a new pbxes account linked to your google voice account. (free) Click this button. Set your google voice to forward to your gtalk in google voice settings.

3rd - Make and receive free phone calls on any Galaxy tab with a data connection!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] sstevens805:
I tried this and had no problems making outbound calls, but could not receive inbound calls. I messed around with sipdroid a bit and saw that I had to go into the account and toggle the "use 3g" and "use edge" buttons. I don't know if it's mine tab only but it worked. Also, I had the skype workaround before and this seems much cleaner.

Does this eat up a lot of data while not in a call, stand-by I guess?

Thanks for posting this by the way, I finally got tired of the skype alternative and basically gave up hope of having voice on my tab.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] sstevens805:
One more thing, sorry. Is this solution reliable enough to replace a cell phone? Or have you heard of anyone who has ditched their cell and used their tab as the replacement?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Coolsaber57:
Hmm, it won't let me sign up for a pbx account. It keeps saying that i have an invalid character in my username. I am guessing that you can't have a period in your name :(

Looks like this method has died now as Google -> Gtalk -> SIP is not supported. Tried for almost 2 hours last night before I found this out.

Hi from Spain!

We just made our first game called Micronytes! It's a platform game with HD graphics (works on smaller devices too!), cool music and an innovative control system (seems a bit weird in the beginning but that's only until you get used to it, if you don't like it we also have a fallback to traditional on screen joystick or even zeemote JS1 if you own one).

Trailer video

We would love to hear some feedback for the demo version. On the next version we will add support for the Xperia Play and other devices with hardware controls.

Hi!

Sorry for the bump.

We just wanted to say that we updated the control system (we've had some negative reviews) and added an additional control scheme: analog joystick on screen!

We would love to hear some feedback about the new control scheme and the game itself.

Please if you liked the game, tell us what might need fixing (it's our first game and well, we are taking good care of it :) )

Cheers!

¡Hola! Que pequeño es el mundo :)

I didn't understand you want a pirate version of our game or you mean promo codes? I wouldn't mind giving away free codes if android market supported it. :(
[Android Apps and Games] paow:
A suggestion for the control method.

Instead of having to shake the device to jump, cant you make it so that while Im touching the right side of the screen to move to the right, the left side of the screen becomes a jump "button", and while moving left the right side becomes the jump "button".

Would love to see that feature, gonna go play some more now :D
[Android Apps and Games] conflux:
Funny game and epic music :) made me laugh...thanks

The joystick control is very good...I almost crashed my desire using the shaking controls :D
[Android Apps and Games] Meister_Li:
Looks plenty fun, but it'd be nice if you could include an option to assign physical buttons to the movements/jumps. People with slider Keyboards and Xperia Plays will thank you for it. ;)

Edit: While we're at it, enabling that for any Input-Method would work, really. That way, it'll also work with Bluetooth-attached Wiimotes. :P
[Android Apps and Games] CMDeWalt:
It is very fun once you get used to the controls. I love the style, and the music. It gives it its own unique feeling. It's quite simple at first, but after progressing further it does become quite a challenge.

Definitely a 4.5/5 stars from me. Will certainly get more when I get the full release version.

Great job, guys. (:
[Android Apps and Games] GibsandGore:
Great!

Next week I'm going to add support for physical keyboards (fact is it's already implemented, but I used it for development purposes only).

Quick question without looking the Xperia Play API, I guess that the dpad uses the traditional KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT etc. But what happens with the buttons (x, o etc)?
[Android Apps and Games] Meister_Li:
You're right about the D-Pad. When I use the Play with emulators, I usually see this:

X = <Center>

O = <Back>

/\= <Unknown>

[]= <Unknown>

They all work fine assigned this way, tho!
[Android Apps and Games] GibsandGore:
Great I'll try assigning center for jumping, do you mind trying out a development version with controls for the xperia play? I'll have it ready by tomorrow.

CMDeWalt, thanks! I'm thinking of adding vibration when hitting the jump button on the on screen controls.
[Android Apps and Games] Meister_Li:
Sure, I wouldn't mind to test it out at all! I can also test it on my Transformer with a Wiimote-Bluetooth-controller, if you want to add support for that. Or a USB-Controller, as soon as I have Android 3.1 on the Transformer. :P
[Android Apps and Games] praetorian droid:
Nice game. Very nice music. Controls are strange... but interesting. :)

InvalidStateException in MediaPlayer after pressing "home" button (accidentally; twice) and then returning to app. Report was sent to you.

Also there is a strange effect after (also accidentally) pressing "menu" button - the virtual keyboard has appears.

By the way, what is "PREVENT DEVICE FROM SLEEPING" permission for? If you just want that device will not going to sleep while your application is active, why do not use android:keepScreenOn or setKeepScreenOn() for you main view?

Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] GibsandGore:
Great thanks! :o I didn't knew about the setKeepScreenOn() ...

About the other issues, I'm having some great problems getting the game on the background when receiving a call etc. Probably it's related to that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
The first time you use the phone after a flash, the battery will be bad. A couple things to note:

Did you flash with 100% battery? A lot of people say this is necessary.

Did you calibrate it yet? When you do a new flash, use the phone until it is dead. Charge it without turning it on. When the battery is 100%, go into recovery and wipe the battery stats. Then use the phone again until it dies. After that normal charging patterns.

Some people say that they get better battery life with certain kernels, and whether or not you have lagfixes. I use speedmod and I'm getting great battery life.

Check all of these and see if anything helps.

Try this thread as it has a lot of helpful tips.

Clue your rom if you did not have battery drain before .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
First think: have you installed any programs that need constant internet connection, like skype or facebook? To check whether this is a possibility check battery history, when cell standby is absurdly high even though the screen was on some time it's a good indicator something is constantly downloading (That only works if you used your phone since unplug, I have 72% for cell standby because I never turned the screen on since I charged it: )

If you ruled that out check whether your modem is appropriate for your region.

After that you should wait and let the phone run down to very low percentage or even let it turn off itself. I don't believe in wiping the battery stats, the battery will calibrate itself with every charging cycle. just let it drop under 10-20% and then charge fully. That helps me.

If the drain does not get better after 2-3days fully charge your phone and reflash the rom with the kernel
