[Nexus S Accessories] mcp2009:
Update got one of these plus installation, cord, and dask kit for $207 with employee discount. I love it can make calls, see's my phonebook, usb port, remote, and auto connects to phone
[Nexus S Accessories] sergey.povzner:
Bump.

Any more recommendations for the bluetooth car stereo?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCP90:
I am currently running eViLs desireHD port and was wondering if I could install the stock mytouch dialer and contacts or is the sense framework different between regular sense and "mysense". Reason being is the sense phone dialer has some quirks I don't particularly like (it constantly displays your Facebook contacts, even if you remove Facebook for sense, as well as not being integrated with your contacts app like on mysense). So can I just remove and replace?

[EVO 4G Accessories] Andralkyrie:
Thnx. I needs me one of those.

Sent from my Evo 4G using the XDA Premium App.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
why would you need one of those? they are actually less capacity then the stock 1500s. I believe they tested at about 1450.
[EVO 4G Accessories] joechef06:
i just need a "just in case" battery so maybe i'll get one of those, thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Just passing this on, almost started a thread to ask for help before finding the answer with Google.

After using Bubbys simple root, everything has been working fine except for a couple of things. Noticed a couple of issues with the market; first, it started trying to install all of my apps at once, and none were actually finishing installing. I had to go and cancel downloads of all the ones I could, then restart the downloads; worked fine then. Everything I've tried to install has worked that way that I've tried except Angry Birds. Tried to install it, got an error and wouldn't install. Tried pushing it in, same problem. It was driving me crazy, but I just came across a suggestion that I tried. Unmount the SD card, install, remount the card; works great. Just passing it on if anyone else has a market install problem after Bubbys root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
This should probably be posted in bubbys thread for his one click simple root. So he can add it to the f.a.q. That would seem to be the most appropriate place for it.

Thank you for the info though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Gonna post it there too, because I have another issue I haven't solved and need some answers for. Just trying to skim through to make sure it hasn't been addressed already. These threads are damn hard to read through, though, there are so many posts (2,340 right now!). It cracks me up when someone asks a question and someone else gives a snippy comback about how it was already asked and answered 30 pages back on page 43.

EDIT: Should have looked over the FAQ better to start with.

"Q: Why are my Market downloads paused/not working?

A: This is actually a Market issue, but has a fairly easy fix:

Open Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.

Select the Market app.

Click “Clear Cache” and/or “Clear Data” if either of them are able to be pressed.

Reboot your Inspire."

Works better than my way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jayswann:
They need to make an app that roots the HTC inspire instantly an put it on the market.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
We know, the thread you started already makes that same "snap your fingers and it will just magically happen" suggestion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Didn't you learn anything from your last thread?
[Nook Color General] love_xda_devs:
Running Nookie Froyo v0.6.7 on SD w/2.6.29-omap1 kernel (overclocked to 1ghz) basically flawlessly.

One annoying thing: Can't search the nook shop for books. No matter what I search for I get the same "No Search Results Found"? B&N's suggestions and categories show up, side loading into library works and can read samples.

Any ideas?

Working: gapps / market / tweetdeck and other stuffs with geolocate. Amazon kindle app search works w/o issue. Tried purge and reinstall, with no luck.

Belongs to wife - she wants to buy books - any help would be *greatly* appreciated!
[Nook Color General] harlot011104:
I get the same error running phiremod
[Nook Color General] JeremeyN:
Same Here

I am running Nookie 0.6.8 and I am getting the same error??? hopefully someone will have an idea?
[Nook Color General] damthman:
Is it still not working? I know that B&N has been doing maintanence/upgrades to their servers which means at times the online bookstore is down. That usually happens late at night and in the morning it is fixed. Have you tried again today or do you think it is part of the ROM?
[Atrix 4G General] tianqi:
I have quadrant advance, so it shows the score in detail (I am sure you all already know that)

But anyway, anyone know why it is scoring so low for 2d? Well Comparatively of course to like n1 and even my desire...
[Defy General] rogier666:
I have all sorts of auto-sync, auto-update etc. features switched OFF. My mail, contacts, and calendar only sync when I tap on sync, I've disabled auto-updating in every app on my phone, I've unchecked "auto system update", "background data" is switched off, etcetera. To cut a long story short: every available setting that disables automatic use of data has been applied.

But when I booted my Defy and left it sitting idle for a while it still downloaded almost a megabyte of data, even though I didn't touch my phone at all.

So I made a backup with Titanium and MyBackup Root, reset my phone to factory state, went into the settings again to disable all user-configurable ways of automatic data use, and rebooted.

And then my phone auto-downloaded 0.7 MB for reasons unknown.

I don't care about a bit of data when I'm in my home network where I have an unlimited data plan, but if I would have been roaming abroad this unsollicited data could have cost me 10 euros or more. International data roaming is horribly expensive.

I could use the sledgehammer approach and disable data completely to avoid unwanted data roaming charges, but this would also disable data traffic that I'm willing to pay for (like manually checking my mail). So I need something more sophisticated than a sledgehammer.

Tools available:

1) DroidWall

2) Titanium (with the "freeze" option)

3) AdFree

Question: which apps and services should I block/freeze to ensure that my phone only uses data when I tell it to, and to make sure that it never ever downloads a single byte of data behind my back?

If DroidWall, Titanium, and AdFree are not enough, which other apps give me full control over which apps and services can use data?
[Defy General] theone10:
Give juicedefender a try
[Defy General] scrannel:
ApnDroid, but kills all data by rewriting APNs. I use it all the time. You can still use wifi, text and call and, if you choose, use MMS. Otherwise...?
[Defy General] darule_2011:
I'm curious as to what is taking your data. When I disable the data connections, I don't use a single byte of data. Even with data enabled but background data disabled, I don't use any data.

I know you asked for an app to kill the data...but I think it's best if you can find the culprit...sounds like either your deactivation of the data isn't working, or you have some nasty app that could be overriding the setting and still downloading data (I'm thinking the first)...

For starters, which rom are you using?
[Defy General] rogier666:
Juice Defender and ApnDroid are both sledgehammers that switch data 100% on or 100% off.

I'm looking an app that let's me control data per individual app and service, so that when I fire up my email program it can download my mail without letting other apps/services hitch a ride on the open data connection.

@darule_2011:

I don't believe something nasty is eating up my data, because my phone is hungry for data even after a factory reset without any 3rd party apps installed.

I'm using firmware version 2.1-update1, which came with the phone straight out of the box. I doubt Motorola would have pre-installed malware, unless we count Motoblur as malware.

On my old Nokia, each and every app could only go online after asking me for permission first. No permission, then no data. Not even a single byte. And it was up to me to choose between "ask me once" or "ask me every time."

Is there an app that forces Android to do the same?
[Defy General] scrannel:
Understood. Can't see how that can work. If your data is on, everything that wants it is going to jump on it.
[Defy General] rogier666:
Is there an app that logs which app connects when and to what? The data meter in Android's built-in data manager is completely useless, and DroidStats counts the amount of data used but doesn't tell which app was using it.
[Defy General] psixda:
Droidwall has a log function for blocked apps.

Sent from my MB525
[Defy General] rogier666:
I told DroidWall to block internet access for "MotoBlur Services" (I don't even have a MotoBlur account), and now the amount of unsollicited traffic is down to about 40 kb in the 30 minutes since rebooting my phone.

So it looks like I found the stowaway. Motorola tries to keep my phone hungry for data even though I never signed up for MotoBlur.

DroidWall's log told me it blocked some unsollicited packets from GO Launcher EX, so at least my firewall is doing its job. (Why would a launcher need to go online if you don't enable anything internet-related in its settings?)

Unfortunately DroidWall only logs what it blocks. It doesn't log traffic that it allows, so I can only guess about those 40 kb. Maybe even an unused data connection needs to talk a bit to stay alive?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
You may also use AutoStarts to disable applications running automatically on background when specific events happen.
[Defy General] Nitromouse:
DroidStats has the possibility to watch for which app consumes data. Not only total amount. It is integrated in the donation-addon
[Defy General] rogier666:
There's an app to tell which programs and services been using data and how much, and it's on your phone already. It's way more informative than the disfunctional data meter in the data manager menu.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* (the 4636 part spells "info" on the dialpad) to launch an app called "Testing." Then hit "battery history->network usage->total since boot." It doesn't count the bytes of data that are pingponged back and forth to keep an idle connection alive, but it monitors everything else.

You can make a shortcut to "Testing" with Any Cut.

First offender: MotoBlur. Even without a MotoBlur account and every possible autosync option disabled the MotoBlur Service eats data. I blocked it with DroidWall so now it doesn't phone home anymore.

Second offender: GO Launcher EX. I also blocked it with DroidWall, because a launcher doesn't have to talk to the world outside my phone.

Third offender: An all-in-one package that's shared by GMail Storage, Google Apps, Google Search, Google Settings Provider, Google Talk Service, Google Talk Storage, and com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts. Doesn't matter if you tell your settings menus not to call Google behind your back, 'cos Big Brother doesn't listen unless you ram the message home.

Fourth offender: WinAmp. Play an mp3 from your local SD card and WinAmp still tries to go online to do things, even with scrobbling etc disabled. It probably sends out usage statistics without asking for permission first.

Fifth offender: NQmobile Anti-virus. Even if you disable all automatic connections in the settings the program phones home anyway. Most of the traffic is outgoing, so apparently it's collecting hundreds of kilobytes worth of usage statistics, even if you're not installing new apps or doing manual scans. A day of launching offline apps can easily make NQ burn a full megabyte of data where it shouldn't have been using any.

Sixth, seventh, etc. offenders: apps that go online for the sole purpose of downloading ads. All DroidWalled, of course. I'm not gonna pay international data charges to see the junk from AdMob.

I've firewalled MotoBlur, GO Launcher EX and the Google package away from the web and everything on my phone still works. Even Google Search can live without the all-in-one service, because it sends the search queries to the web browser. I guess it only needs to go online for web suggestions, which I don't use anyway. The Google Talk app is dead, but I never use it because fring and Nimbuzz are much better and they only go online after I tell them to do so. But just leave it to Google to make GoogleTalk dependent on a piece of code that phones home even when you're not using GoogleTalk.

But DroidWall is not a convenient way to tame NQmobile (NetQin), because then I'd have to manually unblock it everytime I want to update the virus database. Is there another antivirus app that only goes online when I tell it to instead of calling home on its own?
[Defy General] scrannel:
They'll probably just restart and in the end you will slow down your phone and drain your battery as you go through the kill-restart cycle.
[Defy General] rogier666:
Freezing 'em with Titanium makes more sense.

But those are all workarounds, not solutions. As Android matures we should get an option to control the data behaviour of each and every app in full detail. If other operating systems can do it, why shouldn't Android be able to do the same?

If you think about it, it's totally ridiculous that you need to root your phone and jump through hoops to make sure that your phone bill doesn't explode when you set foot across the border. Didn't the inventors of Android ever hear of international data roaming rates?
[Defy General] SimboXXX:
Thanks for the useful info. I use Go Launcher too. I wondered how they moneterised their apps - probably collecting/selling usage stats.

Is roaming data being used even without the option checked?
[Defy General] scrannel:
When the G1 came out those of us who travel soon found out that certain apps would over-ride the option to prevent data roaming, thus programs like apndroid.
[Defy General] Step666:
Because that's not how it's designed to operate.

Pu simply, you've picked the wrong OS for your needs.

That's hardly Google's fault.
[Defy General] darule_2011:
Try Lookout - that's what I use and it only updates when you allow it too (at least mine does).

What do you think about flashing a blurless rom? There is a barebones rom in the dev section (haven't tried that one yet), this will allow you to add back in apps that only you want...this might do the trick. I'm using Pays rom and loving it.
[Defy General] rogier666:
Thanx darule_. Lookout indeed doesn't phone home behind my back, even with automatic scanning enabled and a couple of new apps scanned.

Over two hours since last boot and not a single app has squeezed a byte through my open data connection without my permission. Looks like I've got Android tamed and fit to travel.
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
All I can say is, all the contemporary smartphone OS use background data stupendously.

Shut down data roaming if you don't want a hefty bill.
[Defy General] darule_2011:
That's great! Glad I could help...it sucks to find a charge on your phone bill that you're not expecting.
[Defy General] Alessandro71:
are you sure about that?

i'm using go since last month but i don't see any go stuffs in network usage

top of my list are

"1013"

"UID 10113"

tapping on UID 10113 tells me that it belongs to Dolphin browser

tapping on 1013 just crashes the app

playing with busybox i've discovered that Dolphin in app_113 so i think "1013" could be app_13 that is "android.process.acore", maybe the "all-in-one" package you mentioned

but no trace of go launcher so far
[Defy General] rogier666:
GO Launcher EX vs. DroidWall:
[Defy General] :
Nice to know, also for the DroidWall. I also looked for something like this. Instead i just blocked the whole date traffic. Now it's no longer a problem because i'm on a 2GB data plan.
[Defy General] Alessandro71:
I have installed droid wall and blocked go launcher since yesterday but still the log for the go launcher rule is empty. It seems that on my phone go launcher does not connect to the internet.

Are you sure you aren't using some function like browsing for new themes or new wallpapers that searches the internet?
[Defy General] rogier666:
No themes, and the background is a picture of my girlfriend. Go Launcher really has no legit reason for trying to call home on bootup.

Did you reboot your phone after blocking Go with DroidWall?
[Defy General] Alessandro71:
You are right, after rebooting I've got 4 packets from go launcher
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phillycreamboy:
Would it be possible to enable this feature? It is really needed within the Android side as most apps require scrolling which is difficult without scroll bars and the "page down" buttons don't work on the Android side.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
If you're referring to the actual laptop dock, if you double tap and hold on the second tap you can slide up and down with that one finger to scroll. you can also use the arrow keys.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phillycreamboy:
That method always has me either turning off the trackpad or long-pressing something. The demo laptop dock at ATT store had it enabled and it is SO much easier to use with two-finger scrolling. Any hope for a hack?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mafisometal:
i would like to see that as well, the trackpad used is exactly the same as the demo'd one, so i'd like to see that unlocked as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phillycreamboy:
Please someone help!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hallfleming:
Good tip!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] __Crash__:
Hi,

When I tried to use synclient -l I got "Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?".

So, I tried to enable SHMConfig by creating /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi and put into this file that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

I restarded hal and xorg, removed cache (/var/cache/hald/fdi-cache), but when I try synclient I get the same error, again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] __Crash__:
After some tests and some modifications into the xorg.conf, I'm lost the possibility to start the webtop...

How can I restore it ?

Otherwise, the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package is already installed and, I don't know if it's already the case at the begining, but after adding "Load synaptics" the module is successfully charged (grep "synaptics" /var/log/Xorg.0.log to confirm).

My last try was to add "InputDevice "Synaptics" "SendCoreEvents"" into the ServerLayout section but that... killed my webtop.

After some research, I've found that the "Can't access shared memory" can be solved by adding to the /etc/fstab something like that

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

but this doesn't work neither.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ehvio:
Possible to get a dump of one of the store display models? Two finger scrolling was working on the display laptop dock at the store I went to... Haha some Oceans 11 action...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phillycreamboy:
Any oceans 11 stuff you need I can try to help. :-)
[Atrix 4G General] dtmcnamara:
Ok so I cannot alter any of my account in my settings for some reason. I am running the Gingerblur and this started after i flashed Adeo0.2. When I was on 0.1 there was no problem then when 2 came around I lost all my sync info with facebook and not I cannot delete nor add any new accounts. Anyone having this problem?

When I try to delete a account to try and reset it I get a error or it just sits there until i hit the home screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciervo5389:
I constantly flash the latest 2.2.1 roms ported from the i9000. But i figured id ask to see what actually runs faster/smoother for YOU.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
ext4 is the best one
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciervo5389:
Really? i mean i know its the best for 2.2....but its seems so sluggish on a 2.2.1....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
If ext4 is sluggish for you then... I guess dont use it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
I'm not sure the ROM version has anything to do with the file system. Android is Linux based and ext4 is the most widely used Linux file system. For example, when I update Ubuntu it doesn't make changes to the file system or work any differently then it did with the previous version.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciervo5389:
Hmm interesting. I guess i really dont know how different 2.2 and 2.2.1 truly is.

And yes, thats obviously what im doing. But i just wanted to know the actual reason RFS would be a better selection....cause i was guided in the past that RFS=Big No no, lots of lag, blahh blah blah
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
2.2.1 runs smooth and faster than 2.2 ..have some newer apps and somethinqs else....btw i use ext4 on 2.2.1 too...imm using 2.2 right now because of some goods i like from 2.2 like some of 2.2.1 dont have vibration on home key...and others dont have lockscreen chooser...i use bionix but i customized my self...im runinq the best launcher out there...the one from sony ericson..arc ..i took it out from atriarc lg v2 lol...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
JFS has been awesome for me on 2.2.1.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
Ext4 is the best...noo discussion about file systems..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciervo5389:
Gotcha homie
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvspencer22:
I have found ext4 to be the best since running jellettes beta 2 2.2.1 rom which lagged using rfs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciervo5389:
Well that build was based off of KAE.....which is Vibrant 4g? if im correct? But since i been trying these JSx builds.....seems a little sluggish..
[Defy General] ssd8:
:o That guy can tell me...
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Use the stock rom, until this is no longer a question to you. ;)
[Defy General] ssd8:
Can you tell me the URL?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Stock rom is whichever rom came with your phone. What I meant was that you should not rush to flash any rom before you realize what you need, what you're looking for, and what the roms offer.
[Defy General] eaustra:
Excellent advice I think. I'd really like to move to froyo (for better camera apps and call recording), but I'm holding it off until I really know what I'm talking about. I see too many people here who flashed a ROM and are now stuck with something (or so it seems) they didn't want.
[Defy General] Woif:
Before you change your rom, you should create a nandroid backup of your device.

I could not say, if it´s generally possible to change the rom which is branded by your provider.

With my provider and my phone, it was possible (meanwhile on 3.4.2 155-002). So I have no experience with swiss devices, I can´t tell you, that it will work with your phone.
[Atrix 4G General] aloudermilk:
Wonder if anyone will develop a Tablet dock? It should have the phone mounted in the center behind the tablet at the top, with the camera on the phone in the center at the top. This would make it available for video chatting :-) The phone should be oriented in the same fashion at the the tablet. If the tablet is landscape then the phone should be mounted so it is as well. It would be possible to dual boot into Honeycomb 3.0 for the full tablet experience. I am sure I am not the first one to think of this :-) It would be so awesome. A laptop, phone and tablet all in one device. How cool would that be?
