Use a windows application on an Android device... and intended for a version of windows that won't be released for somewhere around six years?

I don't get what your itching at here.
[A7 General] ytain:
I have the same version of yahoo messenger and the plugin on the tablet like yours and the yahoo messenger 10 on my PC and I can do video chat between my PC and the tablet easily. The reason you need yahoo messenger 10 on the PC is because the android version of yahoo messenger disables the video chat feature when it detects the other side running an older version and as well the format of the video stream is only supported by yahoo messenger 10 on the PC and the android version.

Got this working

Yahoo messenger video chat is now working. I tested it from an ipod touch 4th gen and video is coming through on both ends.

Incoming video to the A7 from the ipod was not good, but the video from the A7 to the touch was great.
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Hi guys,

I have a little problem where my phone's power button will not function in any way, long presses, short, almost embedding my thumb in it, all to no avail. This is doubly dissapointing as I have just installed the latest dexter plus patch to fix the problem. I still had the problem on the previous version and I thought a clean start may fix it. The only way I can get the screen on is to press the media play button! Which of course isn't doing anything on dexter.

Hunches:

I have been playing with a light sensor program and using a 3 second press to turn the phone off, I am only thinking this is related as when I re-installed then turned off the phone using a battery pull, that now the media gallery button will now not work at all, so that is a change.

Second, the power button is buggered. Seems unlikely as everthing feels normal, no big drops have occurred from heights, and the button is travelling in and out as usual.

I have also noticed that as soon as I re-insert a battery that the phone starts immediately, the M pops up as if it is already posting. So maybe it is stuck down?? Again, I don't think so, as the mechanism is working per usual.

If anyone can help it would be fantastic, you guys haven't let me down yet, and this thing is purring, but unfortunately I cannot use it lol. Just my luck.

Thanks in advance :D
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
another thing, still not solved

Another thing is happening, the phone screen turns on "after" pressing the power button, it may be once or a few times, and then pressing the gallery button.?!?!

Also, at random times it plays a podcast on my phone, the exact same podcast, and from the start, though the duration may be a few seconds then repeat, or it may go for ages, its quite a rude podcast too which has caused me to throw my phone under the car seat to shut it up when people have been trying to talk to me, as you can imagine its quite embarassing.

There are no services or apps running that I can find related to music, it may happen after pressing the camera button, or opening a website.

It is still going really fast though. And I have also reinstalled the light sensor program so I can turn it on and off without causing damage to the power button.

Thanks again everyone.

:confused: :D
[Milestone XT720 General] c19932:
please clarify
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
sure, so the only way I can get the screen to turn back on, after turning off as per display power saving preferences, is by pressing the power button, maybe a couple of times, then following that up by pressing the gallery button next to the shutter button, pressing the gallery button doesn't seem to be working to turn the screen on now, but this combo is.

I hope that helped.

Cheers.

EDIT:::

The gallery button alone is working again. sorry guys.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
You might just want to reflash it to stock to see if this resolves the problem.
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Yeah I think I may have to.

Before I do., I was reading a post on a different forum where another person was having a similar issue. They seemed to solve the problem by using rom manager to boot to a manual restore menu where there was a button tester section, after using it the power button worked for them. I tried but after resetting it displayed a triangle graphic then rebooted.

Is there any way to do this with our open recovery program or any other utility to test the functionality or maybe reset the button or apply a patch etc.

Thanks again :-D
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Getting Frustrating

Alright so I followed your advice on your videos on how to reflash to stock, so of course my bootloader does not show up the same as yours on the video. I can get to the bootloader fine, using the button combo or by using quick boot > bootloader, both have the exact same result, the boot loader screens as follows:

Bootloader Fastboot mode

80.89

and that is it....

Also, my computer using rsdlite does not acknowledge the phone, not omap drivers loading etc. Followed your instructions exactly.

This is frustrating me to no end lol.

I am guessing that because I can get to the bootloader with combo no problem, that the buttons physical connections are working.. At least thats a positive.

Can I flash to stock with openrecovery? Or maybe to an earlier version of Dexters froyo? Other ideas?

Any help would be much appreciated guys, trying to use this phone at work with light sensors to turn off screen is not as easy as they say. OMG....

Thanks so much :D
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
The fastboot bootloader isn't the right one. So... if you hold volume up + camera shutter while powering on you end up in fastboot? That's really weird.

Maybe your keys have been remapped somehow? Does anyone know a chord to boot fastboot? Perhaps check to see if your USB port is clean?
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Lmao

Just my luck to have a weird problem. I thought it may have been remapped so I have been trying the program buttonremap. It doesn't seem to let me do anything except stop the buttons I re assign doing anything :'(

Does anyone have a proper key mapping file that I can replace with my faulty one to hopefully fix it?

Or any other ideas?

Cheers everyone :)
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Just checked my system / user / keylayout folder. How many files are supposed to be inside, there are a few. I checked the contents of some and they seemed to be the same. Just an idea.... thanks again.
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Ok installed anyunlock it allows you to use any physical button to unlock the screen. It doesn't respond when the Power button is pressed, it responded fine to volume rockers, gallery and shutter though.

Anyone know if this would mean for sure its a physical problem before I crack it open and try and fix it.

Thanks guys.
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
No one has any solutions for me? Come on guys. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Breakthrough!

I am pretty sure I have fixed the problem, I tapped the phone fairly hard on its sides and back, and lo and behold after a battery pull and replacement it didn't turn itself on, I waited, nothing, so then I held the power button and it started up!!!!

But....I have another problem that happened before that, I am stuck in the boot animation that open recovery uses before going into its program (i.e. where you can load nandroid, wipe dalvik cache etc).

I was about to load a new rom, and was in open recovery, had installed it and about to do the reset and the phone turned itself off, and thats when I got the problem with the sticking boot animation.

So just to be clear, I am stuck in a boot loop, but not with the M logo, the restore logo.

I hope the power button solution can help someone else, as random as it is.

If anyone could help me get out of this boot loop without flashing stock that would be great. ( i can get to the real bootloader now btw)

Thanks again everyone.

:) :eek:
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
Solved it all :)

Just took the sd card out and rebooted. And the power is getting better after banging it.

Thanks to all.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
So, is your conclusion is that the button was stuck and the banging freed it? It doesn't restick?
[Milestone XT720 General] pisceanblue:
The Button is not perfect still. Sometimes over sensitive Occasionally it will not even work but it works most of the time. I am just wondering what cleaning solution I could use to free it some more.

It has certainly been a trying problem. Cheers for the help.

Now I need to figure out why I have this strange ghosting on the top of my screen.....

Samsung Galaxy S2 Power Button Not Working

Hi Guys,

Any solution for the power button problem? Current latest Android 2.3.3 Samsung Galaxy S2 also having the same power button problem. Most of the time I can't use my power button to turn on/off the screen (wake/sleep) and there's no menu for long tap as well. Luckily it does wake when i press the only physical Samsung center button.

What i have already tried: Factory Reset, disable Power Saving Mode, Spare Part+ (apps), Screen Off and Lock (apps), and all won't help. :(

Is there any current updates or patches to allow the power button to work as usual? :confused:

Thank you.
[Milestone XT720 General] archer88:
take it to the samsung technical centre
[Milestone XT720 General] SuperDeform:

[Milestone XT720 General] holyguyz:
won't help because this is the 3rd phone replacement from the shop with the same problem. 100% Android software problem.:mad:
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Maybe the people in the Samsung forums would know more about that?
[Milestone XT720 General] holyguyz:

Power button issue

I didn't see when this post was posted... but banging the phone likely will make the problem worse. Does your phone turn on by itself when you insert the battery?

My friend had an issue like this and we opened the phone and used CRC QD Electronic Cleaner.

You can find this for under $5 at walmart. Spray a quick spray in the power button (after opening the phone) press the button about 20 times and repeat this 3-4 times. Let the phone sit for about 5 minutes to make sure the cleaner has evaporated. Put phone together and power back on. See if that fixes the issue. I fixed my friends phone this way with great success.
[Milestone XT720 General] wolfzemun:
I want to tell you how to fix the problem with the power button on s2. It is very easy: just remove the battery from the phone, wait a few hours and return the battery to the phone. phone will work normally. It is probably a close connection in the motherboard, which appeared when the phone is overheating. I believe that Samsung will solve the problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] tuhoops:
After flashing 2.2 EB16, I can't find the MLB At Bat app (either the lite or paid versions) in the market. I googled it and it seems this was an issue with the Captivate, but it has since been corrected. Is anyone else having this problem? And does anyone know where I could download the free (lite) version or get the apk? Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I have EB16 and the At Bat app (although the app is fairly worthless unless you pay for the full version).
[Samsung Mesmerize] tuhoops:
I had it too on EB16, but for another reason I had to do a reset, and since I can't get it to pull up in the market. Is there another way I can get the apk?

Just flash the updated Pick-n-Pack ROM. It has the fix.

[Nook Color General] Tennis11:
I want to get the best deal on one of these, is Craigslist the place?

Or should I buy new for $250? or are there some going for 200 new?
[Nook Color General] KidJoe:
Retail, you'll find them new for $250. (I haven't seen them go on sale)

There was a deal on B&N's eBay store (that only applied to ebay purchase) for $50 off... making it $200. But that deal has since expired.

After that there is the Craig's List or ebay route to take your chances and buy a used one.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Although I'm sure most people will not have problems, I wouldn't buy a nook over ebay or craigslist and I'd spend the extra $50 for new. That way you have full warranty for one.
[Nook Color General] Tennis11:
That's true. I'm trying to convince my mom to get one but she keeps saying that there will be much better technology in a couple of months...

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
There will be... for 600-800 bucks.

Though the new resistive Coby model looks very interesting for $170.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
yeah, but that's like saying you should get a galaxy tab or Xoom over a Nook. For the price there is nothing like it. Sure in a year from now we might see more, but in two years from now, we'll see something twice as good as that, so it's all on when you want to get into the game. I personally bought the nook with the thought that a year or year and a half from now I'm going to upgrade and spend the good money on a good one (if I still want it)
[Nook Color General] daggy1985:
There is always something better coming out tomorrow. You just have to figure out what it is that you want in a tablet. I for one wanted a tablet to mess around with a decent price point that has android on it and i can download some apps and have somehing to easily browse the web. I originally bought a archos 101 which is a very cool product but after a couple of weeks I realized i couldn't stand the viewing angles of it, i mean i could barely stand to look at it in landscape mode and it was unbeariable in portrait mode as it just messe with my eyes. So i got the nook color and the screen is fantastic. I've rooted it and installed my favorite launcher and some simple apps that i enjoy using. Plus the great thing bout the nook color is a lot of people are hacking it and developing roms for it and someday hopefully we will have a nice version of honeycomb to play around with.
[Nook Color General] mysore:
This may or may not be of help to the OP, but, there is a $15.00 Gift Card offer available for Referral.

With the Groupon B&N GC, I made a small purchase and along with it a free trial of B&N Membership; also I registered my NOOK COLOR bought from B&N Ebay offer. Not sure, which one triggered it, but I received Email from B&N with the above offer.

So, you may want to check with your friends near you.

Regarding purchase for your Mom: her age, eyesight and nimbleness of her fingers, would be a major consideration to make sure a 7" tablet will suffice. Notwithstanding, these factors for older people, I feel this is the best bargain in its price range.
[Nook Color General] lou0611:
Do not buy it.
[Nook Color General] ax0r:
honestly I wouldnt buy it used.. I was considering buying one on craigslist and decided to go to the store... this is why i wouldnt buy it used..

My first nook.. returned it in less than an hour because it had rippling of the LCD beneath the digitzer.

My second nook, returned and exchanged it 6 days later because the bezel was creaky, volume button would stick on the + and it had horrible light leaking on the bottom right (Almost like a big yellow arc you could see at night no matter what brightness setting it was set to).

Now i am on my third nook color.. This one has dust underneath the digitizer between the LCD, creaks alot too..

Based on my experience i would highly recommend spending the extra bit of money just for the 14 day return\exchange policy coverage.. the quality control on these devices sucks.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
I have no troubles, but highly recommend getting one new, just for the peace of mind of replacement if there is a hardware problem.
[Nook Color General] Schwacker:
I think I'll pull the trigger once (hopefully) the B&N-Ebay discount happens again....I was on the fence last time last time it had a $50 discount.....

E Bay NC

Got a $200 one on E Bay from B&N New, tried booting Froyo from SD. For some reason the MicroSD went in between the back cover and Chassis. Since I had to take it apart to extract the card, and probably voided the warantee

I decided to go the auto-nooter route and use the sd for storage. Thr back does seem a little creaky now, but everything works fine. Hate those micro sd's, already lost one, and broke another.

I have a current model Coby, with the resistive screen. I don't like it. I'm use to the touch screen on my OG Droid. Also have a NC and I think it is a good tablet for the price. I couldn't see paying $600 for a tablet, especially if I bricked it from messing around with it.

it is true, the dev community for the NC is so much larger than the Coby community.

Just my 2¢

Sent from my Droid
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Thanks; the new Coby (shipping from Amazon soon) adds multitouch and a front camera, so it mimics the iPad2 to a tiny degree. Unfortunately I still don't know any retailers that carry it locally so I could see just how bad the touchscreen is. (I've used Windows Mobile resistive screens, and I think they're fine!)

Does anyone have a good source for a cheap OEM battery? There are TONS of fakes on ebay ( looking like OEMs ). Sure I can sort by price and just buy an expensive one, but there has to be some cheaper ones that are OEM, but are they really worth it? Im sure they dont last nearly as long etc... Or maybe just get a 2000mAH and maybe it will end up being 1500mAH haa.

Not sure what foil you have on your battery, but my stock battery looks exactly like the ones shown in the ebay pics. I'm sure you can keep searching on ebay for them

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChillyWilly72:
My latest rom is twingerbread and although I had a couple of very minor weird things happen over the last week, I like it, best battery life I have had so far, overall very responsive and seems like good gps (keep forgetting to test it in moving car but looks good and locks fast, better than any other rom I have tried). My issue is that I no longer have the voice to text button on my swype, like I had on my last rom. This for me is the most important feature of all because I hate typing on a phone.

My question is, how hard would it be for a layman, me, to grab the swype from paragon that has the vt button and put in on twingerbread. Is this possible or does it open up a whole big can of worms? Is this a big no no that would piss off the devs? Just want to see if I can DIY this?

BTW, just wanted to say thanks to the xda community, you guys have done some incredible stuff and have helped me since my dell axim a hundred years ago (I've been lurking since forever). Keep up the amazing work.

If you're looking for a good screen protector, just as good (in my opinion, better) as the ZAGG Invisibleshield, but without that orange feel to it, I'd recommend this. I find the application process much easier than ZAGG's, as you only need water instead of that solution included in their package.

Package came with 2 screen protectors and a squeegee card.

At the moment, you can get 20% off is you put the code spring20 at the end.
