hi guys... i tried rooting today but didn't work.
this is what i did.
i downloaded the SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse (i don't know whether this is correct or not but i think it is correct)
i went and enable the USB debugging in my phone.
i plugged my phone to pc and clicked charge phone and i confirm i didn't mount my card.
then, i run the superoneclick app in my PC.
it ran and it comes out with
-----------------------------------
SuperOneClick v1.9.5.0
Checking drivers...
Failed

Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Waiting for device...
--------------------------------------------
and then it just hangs...
i tried plugging and unplugging and then tried to run the superone click again but still same.

what am i doing wrong? what is missing?
any steps that i do is wrong? please help me out here.

^drivers not installed. Install the software for your phone, it should install the driver together.

hi
first time using android
how to create folder and put file inside it?
i tried using astro manager but cant

make sure you're creating your folder in /mnt/sdcard, you cannot create the folder in other places unless your phone is rooted which gives you full access to the entire filesystem of your phone but also voids your warranty (google for more info, its a lot to explain to a newbie of android). Also suggest you tell us what kind of errors you are getting so we can help you further.

hi guys... after i posted the last post. i tried updating my PC Companion.
i didn't install the new PC companion for X8 and i had the old PC Companion.
after i did that and i tried to root my X8, i was able to do it!!!!

problem solved.

so, for those newbies who are going to root their android... please make sure the PC Companion is installed first, make sure you are using Windows 7(if XP, need to install .net framework i think) and also make sure USB debugging is enabled.... confirm can root easily.

Download rom manager and use it to partition your sd card. Or use your recovery to partition it. Remember to make a backup of your stuff as partitioning the sd card will wipe everything on it.

i don't have wifi connection at home so i tried installing MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and then i formatted my SD and then tried to partition into 2partion FAT32. i set both as Primary but when i use the link2sd app, it is still saying that it cannot find another partition.

don't know why. anyone can help me.

Format ur 2nd partion as ext2/ext3...make sure activate all the partion n set as primary...

i have a question regarding apk transfer via bluetooth
i've tried to send an apk over bluetooth to other phones, from my sgs to other sgs , works, from my sgs to nexus s, fail, from my sgs to huawei ideos x5 fail.

any idea what is the culprit?

try sending it as a .zip file, ie zip it, send over then unzip. It's a workaround. Android doesn't send certain files AFAIK.

goof afternoon khalpowers.

i was able to set the second partition as ext2 and also set it as primary.
so, now i have 2 partitions.

-the first partition is FAT32 which is 6.43GB and set as Primary and Active.
-the second partition is Ext2 which is 988MB and also set as Primary but it is not active.
(but when i set it as active,the status of the first partition automatically becomes none?! is it correct? should i set the first partition as active and the ext2 as none because its either one only can be set active at one time)

what app to use to zip and unzip files?
why i cant transfer pdf file from my netbook to sgs?

I need help.

I am using SE Xperia Play, Stock Android 2.3.3

I am trying to add a custom notification ringtone but I am facing problems. I understand that I need to add a media folder, then audio, then ringtones, notifications, alarms folder. I already did that. I choose my custom ringtone from the Sound settings. I click done.

Then when I receive an sms the next moment, it plays "Notifications" by Sony Ericsson. WHY?!! I have restarted my phone too...

What am I doing wrong?

Edited: Ok.. ok... I am so stupid.. I got it too work... I had to change it from setting inside messaging. Forgive me my stupidity.

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I did it using Astro File Manager.

To zip:

1) Navigate to the file directory you want to zip
2) Tap and hold the file -> edit -> copy
3) Tap menu -> new -> Zip file -> type in name
4) tap on the newly created zip file to open it
5) paste the file in it

To unzip, open the zip file you received, copy the file in it and paste it outside of that zip file.

Procedure looks long but I'm just being meticulous.

good morning everyone,
after so long meddling here and there,
i was able to partition my second partition. the first time i tried was formating it to ext2. but i read in the link2app manual kinda thing that it is safe to format to fat32 and i tried. now the app was able to detect and i have SUCCESSFULLY transfered my app to the sd card!!!!

-i have downloaded a few games such as Angry bird, Fruit slice and also Abduction, which is quite cool. any other cool games that you guys can suggest for me to download??

-i wanted to download app to view WMA and mpeg video. can you guys suggest a good video player?

- and another one more thing, is there any apps to hide my sms?

thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I'm new on using Android, so just buy a Samsung Galaxy SL Android 2.2 but i notice that this phone without the voice recognition function just like the message by using speech just like youtube introduction of samsung galaxy s.

How to setting up this function? Such as:-

Speak : Hello (Automatically key-in the word by speak into message)
Speak : Sender to John (Automatically search in Phone Book for John)
Speak : Send ( Automatically send this message)

Speak on activation application.

Please guide me.....

Guys other than the really outdated looking Movie Finder, are there any better looking apps for our local movie showtimes? >_>

^Can Maxis Movies serve your purpose? AFAIK needs to be connected to internet. You don't need to register to check the showtimes.

Thanks! Much better looking and locally tailored.

hihi is there any way to have offline GPS navigation???
