Can't post this in the forum it belongs, so I'm asking here; using the latest itineration (FRX 7.1), the only real problems/bugs/still being worked on; are these
1. BT constantly cycles on/off
2. USB OTG to transfer files doesn't work.
3. Can't remember the 3rd.
Are there work-arounds for these, or are they still being ironed out.
If this wasn't the right place to ask, please direct me to the right place.

Your best bet is to try and build your post count with constructive stuff, like helping other people in general and Q&A sections, and then when you've got enough and understand not to start non-development threads in the dev forum, ask the question in the ROM thread. XDA likes contributors

I realize that but as I'm new to Android (Unix programmer from the 70's though) I do not use the phone with Droid as the BT earpiece is too important. With that in mind, I've little to offer.
Sounds like you're stuck with RTFM for now...
1. There is a thread for the BT, I don't recall the specifics but it's something about audio threading/routing I think?
2. Not sure on that one...
3. No help for Oldtimer's disease.
Keep in mind all of the efforts you see here are done by volunteers, there are no hard and fast release dates or etas for any of it. If you want to know when something will really be finished then you're going to need to brush the cobwebs off those programming skills and kick in some keyboard time. Based on what I've seen these guys are more than willing to help you get up to speed on that but I'd guess most of that is identifying who you need to PM to get the answer you need on specific questions.
You might also want to pick up a spare phone from craigslist and use it as a tester. You can get one for $100 or less if you're patient. I've found that to be the best way for me to learn what's really happening, then if you screw it up you're not scrambling around looking for a replacement while your wife's trying to get ahold of you.
They have threads in the dev section. BT routing is in a testing kernel. as for the PC connection google Droid Explorer. it will allow you to connect to it through adb instead of clicking usb mass storage.
I too am in the same boat as you. I've been using the FXR07 for a while and the BT was working fine (even for audio routing) and then all of a sudden it stopped working. First it quit detecting my device and I had to manually re-pair it each time, then it started doing the auto toggle on.off that you're talking about. So I tried updating to the FRX07.1 build and had the same issue. I also tried the GBX0A (Gingerbread) build and had the same issue. Though when I tried the GB build, I did carry over my data.img and my rootfs. I'm going to play with this some more and see if I can't get to the bottom of it, but I too am too new to be allowed to participate in the dev thread where this conversation really belongs.
I'll keep you posted if I find anything useful...please update us if you do also.
Don't use the same data.img when switching between builds. Use titanium back up to back up and restore data when switching between froyo and gingerbread.

Well, I went with the overkill approach and reformatted my SD card then put a clean copy of FRX07.1 on it. The bluetooth stopped cycling and half works. I can hear my audiobook playback and phone calls, but they can't hear me on a call. Also, I had to manually un-pair and re-pair the device this morning after having tested it yesterday. Not sure what help that gives...if any...
Hello everybody.
Simillar situation with my TP2. Can speak thru headset, but cannot listening to the music.
Succesfully instaled adb and connect, found in logs that I've no device /dev/htc-acoustic

But why before each device is 1;35m...

A **NEW** feature has been added to the forum. It's called "SEARCH". It lets you find things from days-gone-by that could apply to your VERY situation! Also, a fantastic part of the site, the WIKI also has GREAT information. WIKI is like a big book of knowledge. It tells you how to FIX your brick without bugging the rest of us.
If you can't read the Wiki, and refuse to use the SEARCH button, NO ONE WILL HELP YOU FIX YOUR BRICK!
Oh, there is also one other way to fix your brick--guaranteed to make your phone stop being a problem for you... Take phone and all original accessories, and put in a box. Seal with packing tape, and bring to your local post office. PM me for the proper address to send it to (my home address, duh!) and I promise to take GOOD care of the phone! Expect it to be returned never.
Could you add in a bit for people who have not even done anything to check the wiki and use the search instead of PM/posting endless "how do i..." questions?
Ok, go easy guys.
Firstly, I suspect the type of noob who asks these sorts of questions wouldn't stop to read any posts (including this one) before going straight to the "Start New Thread" button. So this is probably just another futile effort to educate
And yes it's annoying, but we're all pretty tolerant around here aren't we? We will usually try to help noobs who ask a question, even if it's just a case of pointing them to the right page.
I find the best thing to do when confronted with a new batch of silly questions from lazy people, is to answer a couple and ignore the rest. Then log out, take a few deep breaths, and come back later!
That said, if there are any noobs reading this thread, please, please, please do use the search and the wiki before posting questions.
Yes, i have bricked device..
It's not that i didn't read wiki or did search on the forum, I simply CAN'T do anything.
I disable USB in activesync and when i connect hermes it's still says "serial"....

Read and Search.
Otherwise the forum becomes a congested mess of repeated questions over and over.
I used to go on my 'soap box' over at TC, and even started threads on 'Search First'
When wpbear told me 'Search', I didn't get offended:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1136130&postcount=593
The people (noobs) who just show up and post a question and get insulted when asked to read up, are like someone who walks into library and expects the people reading books are there to stop what they're doing and answer questions.
Yea, it takes a little research to find what your looking for, but then you learn how to find answers for yourself.
Everyone Wins!

Regarding Searching First, I have heard arguments from both sides.
So whether one has an excuse for why they start a new thread or not, the end result is a bigger problem for others. (Bazillion Threads on the Same Topic.)
Let's pretend I'm the New Guy. I just found this Forum, and now, do I first see if there is standard of expectation from me? Or do I just jump in and start doing things my way?
If I take a little time to figure out how it all works, it stays more organized, and I have only inconvenienced myself. (I did the Work for Myself) But if I just start new threads on everything I think of, I have inconvenienced others by creating more clutter for everyone else to deal with.
Starting a new thread because of not being familiar w/ how things are done may be an excuse for a noob, but one should catch on pretty quickly. And nobody should be made feel bad because they asked them to do a Search.

Are you saying we should not mention the "Forum Guidline: To Search Before We Post"?
So the noob asks: (Post #1 ) 'What's the Flashing Snowflake Thingy?" We just tell him, and give him a Link?
So now the noob asks: (Post #2) "Why is my Hotsync hanging at my Contacts?" or "My computer says it Doesn't Recognize the USB Device"
So the noob just goes on, starting new Threads, everytime they need an answer.
To use an illustration:
What do you do when you go into a Library, Do you just go sit down and ask the people around you anything you want to know?
What if one of those people asked you to go and try to find the answer in one of the many books on that subject?

Your computer should not make ANY sound when you plug it in since this means you have not disabled Activesync's USB connection, please disable USB connections in Activesync... that means actually do it rather than pretend to.
Yes franula, basically untick every box in the ActiveSync "connection settings" menu, and click "Ok". You should NOT have the ActiveSync icon in your PC's system tray (next to the clock in the bottom right-hand corner).
Then put your Hermes into bootloader mode (by holding down the side "OK" button and the "Power" button, whilst poking "Reset")
Once you get the bootloader's tri-colour screen on your Hermes and you've completely disabled ActiveSync so that it is nowhere to be seen, THEN plug in the USB cable, and try mtty.....

Hey all! I'm so glad i found this community it looks awesome! I'm new here and to the HTC hero G2 AND to the droid OS for that matter so i will have some pretty noobish questions , i will try to make it easy and list them in order so if you could please respond that way it would make it a lot easier on this noob as well
I am in the USA so i don't know if that will make a difference but i see a lot of other countries names in updates.
1. My device is the G2 obviously and its unlocked and i use my local carrier Cincinnati Bell and i'm pretty sure my phone is stock everything as far as firmware and what not. I still have 1.5 and i'm seeing people talk about 2.1, some say a message will automatically appear for the update but will it work since i'm not on T Mobile? if not how do i go about getting this?
2. What other types of software are there you recommend every G2 should have or that i can update to my phone to make it better, faster and just all around great, how would i go about doing this?
3. i've noticed when i go to albums for some reason there are 5 different albums just for my pictures which were all already on my sd card, and on my old phone were all just under the same album. The same for videos too there is 3 different ones for those too. Why are they all being seperated and how do i just make one entire album for all photos and one for videos? i've plugged the USB into my computer and opened my sd card and have seen the folders for all my music and photos so could when i add particular artists music on just create my own folder and put each artists music in their own folder? would it show up like that on my music player as being seperate? and could i do the same for pictures?
I realize i have quite a decent amount of questions and i apologize but i am new to the G2 and Droid in general as i've stated and i love the experience so far and i want to gain as much knowledge as possible so big thanks to anyone who helps me!
THANKS!!!

What exactly did you think it was? This is a developer community.. not a help desk.
I myself am not a developer.. I have a very small and limited amount of knowledge regards android.
I come here because I pick things up.. and occasionally when I have a problem I ask a question BUT only in the hope that the great and the good of this community feel like they have time to answer it.
Sure I wish I could be more welcoming to you.. I really do hope your problem gets solved.
Just dont expect it to get handed to you.. for example.. most of your questions can be answered in the hero wiki.. which is one quick search away from discovery.
Your initial question was polite and well formed.. however to follow it up with that statement just shows that you were being very disingenuous.
Again.. I hope someone takes the time to answer your several questions.

I've searched for forums for the Hero G2 and this is one of the only ones with activity i found. So i signed up, yes i know this is a development forum but if someone has the knowledge to develop for such a phone then it became common sense to me they would know answers to the questions i had. I did not mean to seem "disingenuous", its from the fact of taking a post like my last to get a response is why i did so. I wish someone from the first few views could of either 1. Helped me or 2. Said what you said and suggested somewhere or something else to help.
I don't mean to sound like an ass, just would really like help so it would be GREATLY appreciated if someone tried at least :-/
Ok i'll use my first post as an attempt to be useful, if only because i've read a whole lot from here and as yet written nowt
Now, first things first, being in the states do you have the G2 gsm hero, the one with the chin, or the US cdma sprint version? Makes a big difference if you want to do rooting.
Information searching for the hero doesn't have to come from active forums, many were hugely active when the phone first arrived and may not be so now, but much of the content is just as useful/relevant as it was then.
Oh, and i'm neither a dev, or a programmer or a techy phone expert, pc expert or any other expert come to that, just a hero owner that started much like you. Knowing nothing
Regarding the official 2.1 update, have no idea how it might arrive at your device, or mine as i'm not interested. Mine is rooted 1.5 with modaco 3.2 and it works just fine (and stable/reliable) for me, and does pretty much all i need it to do. The only exception being maybe bluetooth transfer.
When i got my hero it was the latest all singing, all dancing device that shamed most if not all other smartphones, eventually rooting it made it better, and unless i get to upgrade it every 6 months to me that's the way it'll stay.
I might go for a custom 2.1 rom at some point, be warned the official upgrade removes that possibility for the future, and even if you don't think you'll want to now, you may well change your mind once you've had the phone a while
How are the files stored on your sd card now? Separate folders are displayed separately. Contacts, downloads, camera shots etc I guess you could put them all in one folder but the album has an "all pictures" option anyway so why bother.
All my albums are stored in folders, with artwork, and just drag and drop into the music or mp3, can't recall what it's called right now, folder and display as whole albums in the player. If i want to create a folder just for one artists tracks then again it will display that "album" separately.
Works fine for me as i'm a whole album person rather than using playlists.
Any combination is possible, trial and error and personal preference time, but you wont break anything by trying.
Finally, have google work for you, or you tube, there's a heap of good stuff around, and more applications than my failing keyboard can mention hence rooting and apps2sd has unlimited my app count. No more worrying whether i can fit in that latest market find or what i have to delete first.
new batteries time before i launch this keyboard.....
Thank you! for someone trying to help... i'll soak all that in kind person, and i have the one with the chin

Hi, I am trying to use Abd to do the stalling fix that Modaco Paul Obrien Provided, however (if im not mistaken) there arent any steps to making adb recognize your phone.
what should we press before doing this?
Enter the following commands in adb on your PC with your device attached (rooted, with USB debugging enabled):
CODE
adb shell
su
cp -rp /data/data /dbdata
mv /data/data /data/data.bak
ln -s /dbdata/data /data/data
reboot
I have showing in command promp before doing anything:
C:\Users\Eric>
Please someone get back to me. if this was posted, I aplogize.. you can delete it (if possibly) after im helped hopefully. I wonder why instructions don't clearly state the steps to avoid questions. There are 1 million threads and hard to search.
Fyi I've installed all the drivers and things for my device. I just need to know the next steps.

Hey thanks for replying. My sd card has avatar on it. I don't want to partition it and lose it.. I mean I could but the last time I partitioned the sd, my phone was blank. Maybe that's because when I flashed clockworks recovery it sent the backedup Rom to my sd car and not the internal memory?

Dont take this the wrong way, but what you are trying is extremely experimental, and I would not recommend it to you. You will end up frustrated later waiting for more advice, as you dont seem to have any experience w/ ADB. Maybe research ADB a bit, play around w/ it, and then possibly try this again.
I dont mean to discourage you, but this type of mod/hack is somewhat advanced, and may require some troubleshooting to get it working properly. You should also know EXACTLY how to undo what you are attempting to do before you go through with it, which is generally a good idea for these type of mods, as you may undo it soon
Thanks a lot. And u right. I'm about to unroot and wait for 2.2 because these developers know there are new people to this and it wouldnt hurt to go into a little more detail. I used Amonras Recovery method on my nexus and didn't have to go through all this download moad stuff and Odin etc. Its not that easy when people get annoyed by questions lol but thanks a lot though.

To be fair, this is the development forum. It's for developers to talk to other developers. We are generally willing to help people out, but do try to make sure you know the basics as much of what we do here is very experimental, and it may well not work right for everyone. As such, it's not really for general consumption. When we think our stuff is ready, we will make a thread in the general forum.
As for partitioning, just copy avatar somewhere else first. Or get a new card to experiment with. They are cheap and the stock one is small and slow.
Note that the comments thing is a double edged sword, we have lost developers to posts like yours. Keep in mind that people are giving their free time to give the community these roms, hacks, and apps, for free. They don't owe you or anyone else anything.

As I stated earlier, we are not telling you how to do it EXACTLY because we do not recommend this for you. You are free to go research and do it anyways, but you've been warned. There will be builds out soon that make everything much easier, but until then, I recommend waiting...
Just a clarification....donations are made to devs (and anyone) without any consideration of something in return.
for example, I sent a donation to @wesgarner the moment he started considering working on CM6 for the vibrant. I am not "owed" anything from him, and he can use the donation as he wishes, although I hope he used it towards something android related.
There is a huge difference between what you said regarding donations, and how I put it. I'm sure some developers get annoyed when people expect things after donating. Its not a purchase, its a donation to a cause
Did you guys know that NO FLAMING is an XDA rule??
@OP First you should make sure you've installed the android sdk properly by visiting developers.android.com
Before you write any command in a CMD window you should specify where your android sdk is by writing
> cd C:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools (just using this SDK as an example, you may be using the 2.1 SDK)
You can also read up on ADB by visiting this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

While you are of course welcome to disagree, I thought the thread had been quite civil. I'm out though, the op said they want to wait a bit.
This might come in handy:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
The thing most people miss is they don't add the path to the sdk so the adb command only works from the tools directory. To make it work everywhere, you need to: Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). At the end of the PATH, make sure there is a semicolon separating the last entry from the one you are about to type, which will be the location of the android sdk tools directory (for me it's C:\android-sdk-windows\tools). Once that's in your PATH, click ok, ok, then apply, reboot and you can
Code:
adb shell
from any directory. Of course, anyone without at least a little experience with command-line interfaces will be at a disadvantage; there's definitely a learning curve.
Ok, here is my super quick summary but you would get better help in the general forum. Most of the answers are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728809
These are the instructions if you are in windows 7, it's probably the same for whatever version you're on.
If you have installed ADB correctly and the samsung drivers you should have the files located somewhere like C:\android-sdk-windows. You should also have usb debugging enabled on the phone (settings->applications->development) and the phone plugged in. Open the tools folder since that's where the ADB executable is. In that folder hold down shift and right click on a white part of the screen between files. You should see "Open Command Window Here". If not, click the start button and select run. Type CMD and press enter. In the command prompt type "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and press enter. Fill that in with whatever your path is. When you are in the correct folder you can now run adb commands in the command prompt. To test that your device is ready to work with ADB and everything is installed correctly just type "adb devices" and you should see some numbers and letters. If you don't see it list your device, something isn't setup correctly.

This is not a flame post, it's an explanation post.
The good people of these forums have been giving you resources to find your answers.
If you're going to step into this world, it requires a certain level of due diligence.
The thing is, they are helping you just like you asked, just not the way you expected. The name of the forum is Vibrant Android Development, not Vibrant Android Support.

Very well said. One quick note, I think the op should look up the definition of the word donate in the dictionary. If you donate to the make a wish foundation does this entitle you to a wish?
Yes... Yes it does. Maybe even two wishes!

It's been a while since I've worked on this, and I still can't find anyone with a similar problem on xda. Does anyone have a clue what's going on with this thing?
First, I got it working just fine with CM7 installed to the nook itself, not running from an sd card. That worked for a bit, then it started just shutting off with no obvious reason.
Also, if I make any changes, like uninstalling apps, it goes right back after a reboot - which happens whether I want it to or not. This applies to changes done with CWM as well, even installing a new rom.
On top of that, it won't boot from an sd card, so that sucks too.
Lastly (I think, it's tough to keep track of all these problems) abd doesn't recognize the device, and for that matter the operating system doesn't either. I've been using Ubuntu Lucid if that matters, but it didn't have issues detecting the device before.
I'm pretty novice, but I think this is a very complicated problem in need of expert advice. Any answers, tips, advice, or pointing in the right direction for any of my problems here would be awesome. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Dude you say your a novice thats one... Two you are being critical of people who volunteer on this stuff. You can't be serious. You obviously have not read the support threads because you are not the only one with these problems and those that have them also did not read enough initially and failed to follow some step. Moreover, even if your problem were unique who do you think you are getting upset at anyone but yourself for taking the risk. Read the support thread for cm7 Mr. Ungrateful... flash back to stock and leave this forum alone until you 1. Learn what it means to be grateful. 2. Learn to follow instructions. The end
it is impossible to stump xda...

Thanks, that reminds me, I did follow all steps to the letter without a hitch to get CM7 going. It wasn't until after it was running for a few days that this happened. Also, in the aftermath while trying to solve the problem, I did everything I can think of to completely brick the nook so that I might be able to use some of the methods here to unbrick.
And just to defend my good name, I think it's a stretch to imagine I've been critical of anyone. To reference your other post on these forums, perhaps you might reconsider how to be helpful. Let me help you out with that.
because it is SERIOUSLY a hard brick, then you gotta get serious about your attack on this sick puppy. get a #6 torx and open it up and get directly at the internal sd card ( which sounds like you have trashed... )

One: This was a completely pointless flaming. Two: For being a novice he seems to be a bit more informed than you are. This is an issue, however not a common one. And from what I have read in these forums there is not as yet a fix. Three: I didn't read any ungratefulness, criticism, nor any hint of being upset. And Four: If you can't help out or give any useful advice then maybe you should "leave this forum alone" until you learn to be more civil.

I don't know if I can help out but I think I can point you in the right direction.

This seems to be a hardware problem, but I don't think anyone is sure what is causing this.
Good luck with finding a fix.
went and found a XDA link for res-erecting bricked devices. it by @adamoutler and looks like a goodie !

Alright, so thanks to old_fart and DavDoc I've determined two of my problems, and I think there are four.
First, DavDoc's linked thread describes perfectly what's happening with problem one, what I'm calling the Groundhog Day Syndrome for no particular reason. Any changes to my nook go right back after it's powered off.
Second, I checked out old_fart's linked thread and I'm pretty sure even though I have a blank screen it's still on in one mode or another. The program doesn't work though because of problem #3 (to be explained) but it seems sensible because to power it back on I must first hold the power button for an extended period of time and release, then hold it again for the normal power-up.
Problem number three is that the nook is not recognized by either Ubuntu or Windows when plugged in anymore. Thus that program not working, and also adb. I may be able to determine that one from error logs as soon as I figure out what in the world the error logs are saying.
Fourth and hopefully final, it won't boot from sd. I'll figure that out too.
Thanks for the advice so far, this forum is definitely indispensable for people who like to learn from playing with technology.
Hi all
I recently signed up on XDA.Don't get me wrong,I'm an intermediate android user.
Anyhow,I'm using nobles smooth bean ROM,and when I run certain apps,there's a black static screen,continuous audio and then I have to close the app.I NEED a solution by Thursday,as I need the gtab good for a project ( App I'm using has the problem.)
Thanks in advance
Daveed2
You're going to need to tell us what the app is.
Secondly, putting deadlines on devs isn't going to help your case. If you need to do real work, get a fully supported device. Such is the nature of hacking - it's an imperfect art. If you can use an older rom, I would suggest doing that instead, as they are more stable.

I didnt mean anything,but I wanted a quick answer
Im using the base MX Media player and Quickoffice. (Side note,FIFA 12 experiences the issues too)
Welcome to the forums. First things first, questions go in the Q&A forum, I am sure a mod will move it but remember next time so you get faster response.
Same problem as yours:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966774
which leads me to 2nd point, SEARCH first. Not trying to be rude, trying to keep the mods from having to school you, and trying to help. when threads get clogged its harder to find good info. Please dont take any of this the wrong way, we really try to help around here.
I searched for my problem already and came up with that thread. Our problems arnt similar.His slows then cuts to a pitch black.Mine gives static then occasionally reboots.Yet sound isnt affected.I tried noble's advice and it didnt work,same problems,which lead me to post here.
I would suggest reinstalling from scratch, and by the book. I would also add the step of formatting /system just in case. I found that without that, my /system folder was maxed out, though it shouldn't be... don't know why that happened the first time.

I want to thank Nobe for his work. For the first time since Froyo (and in two years of using Android) I have an advanced version of Android on my Gtab that really works smoothly. I have been running it for nearly a week and have only seen one, maybe two slowdowns and they both cleared after a moment or two on their own.
Everything appears to work. While I haven't tried Bluetooth, I have no reason to believe I'll have issues.
Again, Nobe, thanks, I will click the "Thank You" button today.
