[Vega General] nenioscio:
Hi,

I am trying to get the ZTE MF190 UMTS tongle to work on the advent vega.

I got the Huawei E220 working out of the box but want to use the ZTE because it is much smaller.

The issue with the ZTE is that it relies on the usb_modeswitch utility to enable the modem device. The utility and the configuration file is not the problem, but it seems that usb_modeswitch relies on a working usbfs in /proc/bus/usb.

So here is the real question: is there any host mode kernel that has

# CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS is not set

enabled?

I checked the kernel in pauls r8 kernel, buzz vega and corvusKernel without any success.

If not, would it be safe to use the buzz vega git and enable the setting? Don't want to brick the device to find that out ...

ps: I would have posted in the dev section in the threads about the kernels themselves, but the forum doesn't allow me noob posting there.
[Vega General] nenioscio:
I got a kernel with usbfs working based on the git sources from git://github.com/BuzzBumbleBee/android_kernel_advent_vega.git and the .config from the corvuskernel.

With the usb_modeswitch utility from www _DOT_ draisberghof _DOT_ de _SLASH_ usb_modeswitch

the configuration for the zte devices:

########################################################
# ZTE devices

MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061e000000000000000000000000000000"

NeedResponse=1

CheckSuccess=20

it is possible to set the zte device from harddrive to modem operation mode.

It seems however that the modem is not entirely working. I can so far search for and connect to mobile network providers. I cannot (thought the configuration is the same) get the data connection to the APN source to work. dmesg output doesn't help here.

Any idea where to look / get more information? Or any idea what to do else?
[Vega General] nenioscio:
I think I got a step further with the ZTE Dongle.

According to https ___ bbs _DOT_ archlinux _DOT_ org/viewtopic.php?pid=903386 the process that does take care of the modem initialization does need to use usbTTY2 instead of usbTTY0.

Now Android has a total different way of dealing with this stuff as regular linux would do. So my current theory is that libhuawei-ril.so would require modification in a way that it uses the correct device and possibly even use a different modem initialization string.

Now as far as I understood this, RIL is a standard interface for vendors, and libhuawei-ril.so did come with the base firmware from advent / point of view.

Does anyone know if there is a source to have a look at this implementation? Writing a ril implementation for the ZTE from scratch would exceed my skills/available time.

For anyone wanting (or waiting) for a Sprint version of the Xoom, it looks like it's going to be a real thing.

http://www.bgr.com/2011/03/18/image-of-sprint-branded-motorola-xoom-surfaces-online/

It also appears that it will have the silver back.

While I would have probably preferred a Sprint Xoom, since Im already a Sprint customer, I'll be satisfied with the additional accessories that will probably be made available (if not by Sprint, then simply due to manufactures catering to a larger market).
[Xoom General] Rican Bx Bomba:
Yeah I was looking forward to the WIFI xoom.. I might hold off for now.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
I'm actually glad I went ahead and got it with Verizon. Many times I have two totally different signal strengths on my phone and Xoom. Hopefully this means I will have better coverage at any given moment... plus Verizon's data is definitely faster than Sprint's in my area.

But yeah, please let's get some more accessories!
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
I hadn’t really thought of it that way, but you raise an interesting capability. Armed with my Sprint Evo and a Verizon Xoom, you would then be able to pretty simply wirelessly tether one to the other… based upon whichever had the strongest network where you happen to be.
[Xoom General] patass:
UGH. How much does it cost to add an additional device to sprint's unlimited plan, anyone remember? I'm still probably getting the wifi.
[Xoom General] Ryououki:
Sweet! I was already planning to return my Verizon Xoom today anyways, but now I know I can get one again when the Sprint one comes out.
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
awesome was planning on taking mine back to cosco to get the wifi version but now I will wait for the sprint version. I get a 25% discount on bill :) Wonder how much data plan will cost.
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
I like your Sig :P
[Xoom General] jlaw904:
Well with the Sprint Galaxy Tab, you have 2 options:

2GB for 29.99 or

5GB for 59.99

And of course if this is a 4G device, they'll probably slap on the $10 Premium Data fee.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I have an evo as you can tell by my sig and I live in a 4G city (wimax and lte), first wimax sucks unless you are stationary. You can take 3 steps or just walk inside and lose signal. I'm definitely going to love having lte over wimax. This is just my opinion as I've tried wimax and lte here in my city, bring on this lte upgrade for my xoom
[Xoom General] Dante_l1:
It appears to be sporting a leather folio case. I wonder if it is a sprint accessory. Has anyone seen one like that in the wild yet?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I agree. My City has full wimax coverage and unless you're outside and standing still you can't use it. Sprint really picked a loser with wimax.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
It was inspired by seeing yours :)
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Have to agree. I had the Evo from release till January and the 4G is just not useful at all. I used it on 3G 99% of the time. I bought the Evo because my city was one of the main launch areas with "full 4G coverage". The problem was, if I was inside my apartment, I couldn't even get a single bar of 4G, no matter what the coverage map says (said I was in 100% strong 4G area). Even downtown I could get 1-2 bars inside, and maybe 3-4 outside. The problem is that the 4G speeds required me to be outside generally, and not moving because the service was so spotty I'd get choppy performance.

Not to mention that the 4G radio crushed my battery, and the speeds were mediocre. I got about 3mbps down/1mbps (capped) up. Not worth the drain for speeds only 1mbps more download vs. 3G speed.
[Xoom General] famouz09:
The reason tht is because sprint borrows 4g wimax from clear

So they get the high frequency tht have a hard time pentrating material....clear uses low wimax so u get it good in 4g coverage area
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
I understand this. I'm completely aware that the 2500mhz spectrum is terrible for building penetration.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
And why 700mhz LTE with verizon will rock compared to the wimax Xoom :D
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
even side by side all spectrum aside the LTE is faster than WiMax anyways in real-world use.

So a while back I rooted my phone with the one click thing. Yesterday the sd card I ordered off ebay finally came and I decided to do a backup using rom manager premium. I flashed the clockworkmod recovery then I hit backup current rom. It reboot into recovery. Than I got an error saying "e: failed to verify whole-file signature." Can someone tell me what I did wrong please. All help is greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Rom Manager is broken for the EPIC. So do the following:

Power off...wait until screen is off and capacitive button lights are out.

Hold down the camera button, Volume down button, and then HOLD down the Power key. (Called the Samsung 3 finger salute) :D

Hold all three keys down until CWM pops up

and you can then easily make a backup.

Use the volume up and down keys to change file items.

Use the camera button to make selections.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chouston33:
I wish I new it didn't work before I bought it. Thanks for the info though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoulon:
Today I used ROM manager to Create a Backup and it worked Fine. (ROM Manager Premium 3.0.1.3) on my Epic 4G. I used the Epic 4G listed in dropbox for CWMRecovery. and I have version 3.0.0.6 which I used to Root.

is Backing up the only thing ROM Manager isn't suppose to work with? do the rest of the features work in Epic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Well you can't flash cwm with rom manager if you don't already have it. I've used it foe backups before myself when.I was using cwm 2.5.1.2. Haven't tried it on 3.0.0.6 yet

Need some help in getting a stock rom to work and flashing a custom rom once thats' fixed.

I decided to go back to a basic HD2 and reload my custom rom on a fresh system. I downloaded and installed a stock rom, went to install my custom rom (Elegancia v2) and a couple things happened. First the flash failed with an error that there was a communication problem, though I could see the device on Active Sync. Now it's stuck at the white HTC page when I turn it on so something is wrong with the stock rom is some way to prevent it from booting through. It did that yesterday but not today. All I"ve done is continue to try to flash the custom rom and fail.

A magic bullet would be nice here.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] T-Macgnolia:
Ok sense you posted this in the T-Mobile Development section I assume you have a TMOUS HD2 and I also am going to assume you got your stock ROM via the official T-Mobile HTC HD2 upgrade. You can try to reflash the ROM by manually putting your HD2 into bootloader (muticolor screen). Turn your HD2 off and then turn it back on but hold down the volume down button as it is booting it will bring up bootloader. Connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer and wait until the Serial in the white bar of bootloader changes to USB and your computer regonizes your HD2 (this should happen simultaneously). Right click on the update utility and click on run as adminastrator.

But if you keep getting the communication error you can try flashing via a SD card. You will need a SD card formated Fat 32 it is recommended to use a smaller GB card but if you format your 16GB SD card it should work. Make sure you make a back up copy of your SD card on your computer before you reformat it. To learn more abput how to do this go to this thread. It can tell you all you need to know to flash via SD card. Also when you rename the Ruu_signed.nbh file it is not case sensative so you can name it LEOIMG.nbh or leoimg.nbh it does not matter. Be advised though no matter wich method you use to flash you will have to reflash HSPL to your HD2 before you can flash your custom ROM.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] rogerperk:
Tried that and no joy. I can get to the bootloader and see USB at the bottom of the screen but it won't go beyond that. Such is life. I worked it out with TMobil to exchange the phone with no penalty (hopefully that sticks0 but I'd still like to get my old one working. Not idea how I got stuck on the white page nor why this is happening at all but I want to try to prevent it in the future.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] T-Macgnolia:
Hmmmm when you have your HD2 plugged into the computer while in bootloader and it says USB in the white bar of bootloader. Go down to the bottom right of your task bar and click on the little icon to safely remove a device. See if it lists your phone as "HTC USB Sync". If it does not list it as this you need to either try another USB port or update your USB drivers. Try updating the drivers while your HD2 is connected to your computer and in bootloader.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] sandmanz:
I had the same problem. I was in the bootloader screen with USB showing at the bottom. But when I tried to flash something I'd get a connection error. I just unplugged the usb from my pc and plugged it into a different usb slot, and walaa it started installing the htc drivers. Also in active sync, check the connection settings and make sure allow usb connections is checked.

After a while the keyboeard popup disapears, i don't see anything but when i release it uses the icon or number but it's really annoying. i also posting a screenshot to show it, the dot button is pressed to show the popup, but there is nothing to see.

Before people are starting to say wipe everything, i'm not a noob at this i flashed everything used different roms currently i'm using modified stock ROM. it was also present with CM7 builds (nightlies & rc)

Gb version GRI40 with stock kernel. I just wanted to know if other people have the same issue.

ps: reboot does fix the problem but annoying to reboot it every time.

Update:

thnx to tommert38 there is a way to get the popup working again bij 'Clear data' in Settings > Applications > Manage applications. This will remove all the keyboard settings and maybe dictionary (not sure about this).

this is also a reported issue found here > http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15029

If you have more than one keyboard installed, you can switch to the other keyboard and back again by long pressing the text field and selecting the Input Method option. It's a workaround, but it's easier than rebooting the phone...

Yea, this only happened after upgrading to gingerbread. Stock 2.3.3, never modified.

If i clear the Android keyboard data, doesn't that mean i loose the keyboard permanently? I'd need another keyboard as a backup right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
No you won't loose your keyboard only the settings of the keyboard and maybe (not sure) custom dictionary.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
I saw this thread yesterday (never noticed the bug until I after I read this :() but have noticed it several times now. I just took the keyboard from CM7 RC1 and pushed it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk. I haven't been using it very long, but so far I have not gotten the bug again. I will report back after a few hours of usage on my finding. Also, I noticed nothing functionality wise that differs from the 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 LatinIME's.

Update: the bug occurred anyways, but force closing the keyboard restored it to working function.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
Clearing the keyboard means that all settings go to default. This means I only have to select which dictionaries I want to use, because I don't touch the other settings:) It won't delete your keyboard and it's still better than rebooting the phone!

Hi, Sorry for my bad English. The question is simple,

Theme Chooser you can install other rom? Thank you and

sorry if I do not speak English well

edit: I found this guide but does not work on my desireHD, is for Motorola Droid:

the way I did it (because I don't know where else to get a copy) was:

1. download a copy of ultimatedroid 3

2. extract it to your sdcard

use Root Explorer from here down:

3. go into your newly extracted UD folder's system/app folder

4. find themechooser.apk and thememanager.apk

5. copy them to your system's system/app folder

6. run them both so they install themselves

7. done

i keep seeing "gps not working" on every rom thread. Yet... many of those rom users have no gps issues. I think this is not related to the rom but related to something not getting cleared out upon installing a new rom (any rom). I've used both AR 2.1 and RCmix 3.4 with no gps issues at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] palletguru:
I got my inspire at Costco 2 days before AT&T release, so I know I got a pretty early model. I have tried every gps fix suggested in these forums, to no avail. I am wondering if the gps problems are examples of the hardware going kaput?

I've come across a couple posts stating that they got replacement units from AT&T (one for bad gps, one for bad screen). I am now thinking that my earlybird Inspire could be a lemon. GPS worked at first, but then quit after the 1 month mark. Granted, I have flashed a TON of ROMs, so I could have borked something. I do full wipes (lately using fullwipe1.3.zip) prior to every ROM install.
