Thanks I would think a lot of that would depend on the size of the inverter as well. This one is only a couple hundred watts. I could see a larger one doing damage. Its enough to charge a phone and run a xoom without over loading the electrical system. Like most electrical things I would assume its the amperage that causes the issues. The specs don't specify the amps I would be curious to know how much it pulls under a load. Guys in trucks probably running refrigerators, heaters who knows. I would think a lighter socket wiring could handle a pretty heavy load since a lighter is basically a dead short.

Don't get me wrong I'm not arguing just having a conversation about the topic is all.
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
I will have to do a credit check to see if they checked my credit for buying a $15 accessory. I do not believe they would do that and sounds illegal to me.
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
:confused: you win I give up! :rolleyes: What we have here is...failure to communicate! (cool hand luke)
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
I don't give up because you are spreading false information. Do you have any evidence to backup the claim that Verizon runs a credit check to buy a $15 accessory to find out if you are using data plan? You realize how ridiculous that sounds?
[Xoom Accessories] jvs60:
I'm almost 100% sure they didn't check my credit for a $15 car charger. Paranoia is a crazy thing
[Xoom Accessories] kcrudup:
He REALLY is. Between Moto/VZ/Costco/BB they already know who has a Xoom, and VZ knows who has a data plan.

"Credit check" my ass. When I went into the VZ store I could have just as easily paid cash and walked out. Stop looking gift horses in the mouth, dude.
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
lets look at motive

I understand what your saying, BUT can you please explain WHY Verizon would sell you a car charging cord for $14.99. THEN pay a shipper between $11.00-$13.00 out of their (Verizon's) own pocket to send it to you OVER NIGHT?. Lets see now let me think........That means they sold you a $29.98 retail value cord for....let me see now, about $3.00?. Not much of a profit margin in that sale!. Verizon must be paying you just so they can give you a cord as a gift out of the kindness of their heart HUH? (YEA that makes sense!). Someone has to pay the shipper they don't work for free, and someone has to pay to make the cord, they don't work for free ether!. Its not arguing about anyway but I do love the world some live in!
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
Dude give it up. Show us on your credit report where you were checked for a $15 accessory purchase. It is not on mine.
[Xoom Accessories] kcrudup:
Actually, as pointed out to me the best way to go is to get only car-chargers, then one or two of those 110V-to-12V lighter socket adapters. The combination is lighter and more travel-friendly.
[Xoom Accessories] kcrudup:
... which they probably paid $8 for in bulk ...

Again, large companies don't pay the same rates as a common consumer. It's probably 6 bucks, total.

In either case, it's a loss-leader. Perhaps you'll buy something else while you're shopping. Companies do this all the time, no need for tinfoil-hat conspiracies.

Hrmph. The irony ...!
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not after you! Glad I could help some out with the info. I just wish there was a decent dock out there that has all port that the Xoom has.
[Xoom Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Hmmm I got a dual car charger for $5. One 2.1amp port and one 1amp port.
[Xoom Accessories] OneStepAhead:
You are retarded. You can't check credit with a credit card number, it wouldn't be legal and its not even possible, you need an SS.
[Xoom Accessories] kcrudup:
How nice for you!

... but do you have any idea what we're talking about here?
[Xoom Accessories] cwizardtx:
I'm standing in a Verizon store and the manager here flat out denied that the adaptor was on sale and didn't even bother to check twice.
[Xoom Accessories] kcrudup:
You HAVE to go on-line, do an "In-Store Pickup" then print out that slip and bring it to the store so they can look it up and give you that pricing.

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned this- mea culpa. When I went to get it, it did price at $30 'till they looked it up.
[Xoom Accessories] atoy74:
Are you serious? Please tell me this level of paranoia is a joke. You cannot check someone's credit based on a purchase. Also, companies this size can go through the credit agencies and pre-qualify individuals without the hassle of setting everyone up with a cheap(ish) car charger.

The simple fact is they probably have too much inventory and have to take a loss or break even to free up warehouse space. Nothing hurts a company's bottom line more than sitting on inventory. Add to that these car charges are prob dirt cheap (lets say $2-$5max, maybe less) and Verizon has contracts in place with shipping the companies. They are not plying what we pay for overnight shipping...not even close.

It's all about volume.
[Xoom Accessories] cwizardtx:
Well, they were so busy making sure that I would never get any sort of discount from them that nobody pointed that out. I'll get it tomorrow, free shipping :)

I installed ROM Manager, even paid for premium. But it doesnt work on my Samsung Fascinate. Couldn't get it to flash clockwork, had to use odin. But now need to downgrade clockwork from 3 to 2 because the rom i want to install still using Amend.

ROM Manager always says "An error occured while downloading your recovery" when trying to download older versions of clockwork.

How do i downgrade to a v2 of clockwork manually and where do i find the propery clockwork versions for the fascinate?

You can find the latest 2.5.1.x CWR modified by jt in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021

I don't believe the zip file is compatible with CWR 3.0 (Edify), so you will have to use the Odin package.

As far as ROM Manager goes, it has limited use for us Fascinate owners right now. You can download ROMs with it, but doesn't natively work with our Red CWR and it's best to not update CWR with it, either (at least right now).

I have USB debugging checked in Settings-->Applications-->Development. However, when I plug my phone into my computer via USB, it simply says "Charge Only. When I click the "Charge only" on the notification bar, my only options are: Charge only, HTC Sync, Disk drive, and Mobile Broadband Connect. What's the deal here? I have done USB debugging before....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
If USB debugging is on under development settings it should automaticly start USB debugging when you insert a USB cord into both your computer and phone.

There is no menu in the sense nptification interface that has that option but i may be wrong. I haven't used sense since i got my phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesejam:
Hmm, then if I have USB Debugging checked, why doesn't it automatically go to USB Debugging when plugged in? Does it matter what ROM I have?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkencool:
I dont believe your ROM matters but as linuxmotion said, once enable it should automatically turn on once you plug your usb in. It should be on whether you pick charge only or disk drive, etc.. without you having to do anything.

look for a notification about usb debugging when plug your usb in, you should see one if you enabled it in development.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowts:
hey guys, thanks to this forum i got my new mt4g rooted and customized in no time the perma root method with gfree was the one that finally worked for me after trying 2 others..

anyways to the point, root explorer and titanium backup pro are both paid apps as far as i see on the market with this method you can backup your bloat ware and uninstall it for free and reinstall in case you need to.

1) get titanium backup free version

2) you must be rooted and s-off

3) go to your terminal emulator and type su

4) cd /system/app

5) type ls, you will see all files in the directory

6) look for the .apk file you need to backup, (for example Monopoly_Classic.apk)

7) then type, cp Monopoly_Classic.apk /sdcard , this will copy the file to your sdcard root

8) repeat for everything you want to uninstall

9) uninstall the bloatware with titanium backup

10) done

i have tested by reinstalling monopoly and the game plays like it did before.

cheers
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
. . . or just download a new ROM and flash it. If you really like Sense, you can get a Sense ROM. If you're not particularly attached to Sense, you can get CyanogenMod or one of the other AOSP ROMs. It's much easier and faster than doing all this crap by hand, and it's probably better for your phone anyway.

I made a custom boot animation to go along with the theme that Shane6374 and I made (you can find our theme here: [THEME]Special Edition:midNIGHT ROM Autism Awareness Theme+LP+Icons+Boot Animation) and its not working. Basically what I did was I took a boot animation that works (its the one I am using now) and replaced the .png's with my own. But when I boot up all I get is a black screen until the phone boots. I have checked everything I can think of. The pics are the same dimensions, the same resolution, the same format. The only thing I see different is that mine uses more colors. IDK if that is a limitation on boot animations (but I doubt it). Does anyone have any ideas? There must be something I am missing. I'm going to post the bootanimation.zip I made here so feel free to download it and see if you can figure out what is wrong.

Your desc.txt file is saved in windows format. it uses a different code for carriage returns than does unix formatted text files. you can just open it up in something like notepad++ and under edit-->EOL Conversion switch it to unix format and it should work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny.Bravo:
Thanks. I'm gonna give that a shot right now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny.Bravo:
Didn't work. You were right about the the format, so I changed it to Unix, but I still get a blank screen instead of the animation while its booting.

I uploaded the bootanimation.zip with the new desc.txt file just in case you wanted to double check.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny.Bravo:
Here is something interesting.....

I decided to look at the files in the bootanimation.zip on my phone. I used Root Explorer and went into the part0 folder. The images display just fine with Astro Image viewer, but Gallery just gives me a blank screen. I think its some sort of issue with the native image viewer not being able to display these images properly. If this were Windows I would say I am missing a driver, but its Linux.

So, I say again.....any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optmsprim2:
Oh. Your zip is compressed. Make sure you set it to no compression when you make your archive.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny.Bravo:
I started with the boot animation that is currently on my phone. I used 7zip to open the bootanimation.zip and replaced the original images with mine. I didn't change any compression settings (that I am aware of anyway).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optmsprim2:
I'm not sure about 7zip, I use winrar, but I imagine it might work similarly. If I just drag and drop files into and out of an archive it automatically compresses them. When I opened your archive the PNGs were ever so slightly compressed, not much since they are already so small, but any compression will stop it from playing. In winrar I just add the folder and txt file to a new archive and just use "store" as the compression method. I don't know what the setting is in 7zip but it probably has some similar setting.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny.Bravo:
OK, so now I need to figure out where the compression settings in 7zip are.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optmsprim2:
There was also some issues with your file names. They need to be in the format "ANYNAME_00001.png" I believe. So you need to have any random name with an underscore, it doesn't matter what, but the numbering has to include 5 digits. I went ahead and did it and packaged it up for you. Works on my phone, Bonsai 3.0.1. Cool stuff!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny.Bravo:
Thanks! I knew it had to be something simple that I was missing. If I could hit the Thanks button 1000 times I would. I just flashed it on mine and it works.

Name_010 and so on.

Also use 7zip for zipping them up with it always set on store.

Another thing to watch out for is that when creating your part folders usin a pc running wndows, be careful not to let windows throw a hidden indexing file into the folder. This happens a lot and will give the animation the white flash screen that so many ppl have problems with, it can also cause the black nothing screen.

Thanks. This is my first one so I had a bit of a learning curve. I used up all my thanks on optmsprim2 but I'll come back tomorrow and get you.

Hey,

I have a HTC Desire (T-Mobile, no root, Android 2.2)

My phone battery was empty, so i charged it over night (my phone was shut down). next day i wantet to boot it, but it was stuck at the t-mobile logo

the thing that i want the get my contact list.

i have access to the hboot menu - even with usb (it connects with my pc)

the command 'fastboot devices' shows my htc

the command 'adb devices' does not work

i read that i need root to have access to adb.

then i could copy - e.g. the sms database - to my pc.

i read a lot of tuts how to root a desire but they all say: enable usb debugging but i cant boot my phone

so, is there a way to root my desire to have access to adb?

thanks

At this point it really doesn't look like it :( though if it's in warrenty you could send it off to HTC and get it fixed, but you will probably lose your contacts either way :(

I agree with Darkis, you need to send it off for repair and then we can help you root it. I used Unrevok3d to root mine but you need to get it repaired first.

Currently, there is no "upgrade" from the Evo from Sprint (yes yes, debatable. Some say the Epic is awesome, I don't think so.)

Well with only 3 months left the ETF would be pretty darn small. So how small is the fee. That's my question.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well I said 3 months as an example, it could have been at the end of the year. And as far as I know, the fee is variable, based upon when you ask for it.

[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Even if the price is virtually the same, an ETF and an early upgrade to your line are still different. You keep you current plan and you current account, as well as the time you've been there (aren't there benefits for 10 year customers or something?)

how much did the OP pay for an early upgrade? i wanna do that
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
That makes sense. I didn't realize ETF would cost you your account history. I wonder is the dollar amount is the same though.

I know people who have paid ETFs before because it was only like 50 bucks and they turned right around and signed a new contract and got a 500 dollar phone for 200 dollars. 300 dollar savings makes the ETF worth it in such a case, if its far enough into the contract.
