View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Droid Bionic - Is It Safe To Re-root After Phone Update While Rooted?
Nov 25, 2012So i had my Droid Bionic (Verizon) rooted a few months back. A few weeks ago, there was an update for android firmware. I went from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 without realizing I had to un-root my phone before.
The night I updated, my battery just so happened to run out in the middle of the night (the update was done in the morning, so the update process was obviously unaffected). I woke up to AP Flashboot Flash boot error. This was temporarily fixed with me just loading the fastboot menu and selecting Normal Powerup.
But now i would like to re-root my phone, and i was wondering if it is safe to just straight-up root it with my comp. And if im not specific enough, just let me know what information i have to include.

Nov 14, 2010Some of the apps are not available in market for various reasons (e.g., swype, brut google maps, etc). However, they are widely available on sharing sites (hotfile, rapidshare, etc). The question: How can we ensure safety when installing apk from unofficial sources? What preliminary things can be done to ensure the app has not been tinkered?

I'm thinking of apps like Amazon MP3, Maps, Peep, Facebook, Fandango, etc. General things like that, nothing system-important.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Is The Static Safe ?
Jul 29, 2009I use a single static class in my code that defines a static field which I'm reusing between Activity onStop/onStart invocations. Here's a scenario:
User clicks on "Authorize" button (static data is initialized) Activity is stopped and web browser is called
Browser executes callback and Activity is restored (static data is reused)
At least one of my users reports the failure at step 3 which I cannot reproduce but which looks like reset of static data.

Aug 5, 2010How do you get an Eris out of safe mode? My wife left her phone outside and it got a little wet. I dried it off and pulled the battery to make sure it didn't get wet. Put it all back together and rebooted. Now the phone is stuck in safe mode. No downloaded apps are showing, Lookout will not open in App Manager, Pandora won't work, and I'm sure I'm missing some more.

Android :: My Safe Mode Fiasco
Apr 5, 2010i just got the 2.1 update this morning and was cleaning up a few unused apps and i came across launcher. I couldn't believe I still had it on here (been using sweeterhome) and so i remembered i had to go into safe mode to remove it. Tried to get into safe mode no luck. thought, ok, i'm missing a step or something. looked up the directions to make sure i was doing each step correctly and still nothing! i've held the power button and the menu button (keyboard) down at the same time until i saw the eye, until after the haptic then major vibration. i tried holding the menu and power, then releasing the power while still holding menu until both things i just stated and still nothing! what is happening is after I hold the buttons until after the vibration one of two things happens,it will go back to the screen that spells out droid then the eye or it will load normally, no safe mode on the screen. i read somewhere doing a google search that someone else had this same experience and asked for help and no one replied.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHTC Incredible :: How Many People Know About Safe Mode?
Sep 3, 2010Is this a common troubleshooting step for a lot of Android users or do you go right to the factory reset?
I do tech support for a carrier and along with the calls I get daily from frustrated Android users and some of the threads that I read in various forums, it just seems like this isn't a widely known or used option. Personally, before I have someone do a factory reset, I always have them put in in safe mode. Only once has the original issue they called about reoccured while in safe mode, so out a replacement went. Just seems so much easier to do a little self troubleshooting rather than calling up a carrier or ranting on a message board about how bad or faulty a device is. I'd hazard to guess that 95%+ of the issues these devices run into is due to end-user error.

View 26 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid X :: Installing App Using ADB All That Safe?
Jul 29, 2010I'm getting my Droid X next Friday, coming from a rooted Droid. I was thinking about rooting the DX before actually activating it by doing the Android screen corner taps; mainly because I want to install Titanium Backup using ADB, so that I can go ahead and restore all of my apps without having to wait for a Market sync, and so that I don't have to go back into each app and set them up. My question (well... more like a couple questions) is installing an app using ADB all that safe?--I read somewhere it was kind of sketchy. And would it even be safe to outright bypass activation/setup to root and do this? Thanks!

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Safe Way To Get My Contacts Group?
Nov 16, 2009I'm adding a new contact using the 2.0 Contacts Contract APIs and I was just wondering if this is a safe way to get the "My Contacts" group to set the group membership for my new contact. Or is there a better more standard way to get it? I'm using the literal string "System Group: My Contacts" when I query the Groups table to get the source row for the My Contacts group. I found this constant by poking around in the debugger, but It's not documented anywhere that I could find, so I don't know if it's the right thing to use. Is there an actual constant somewhere that I should be using to find the "My Contacts" group? Code...
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Camera Intent What's Safe To Use?
Dec 8, 2009I'd like to let the user take a picture using the camera, then use it in my app. Ideally I could use the built-in camera app via an intent for this.is the only reliable option to use the 192x256 memory-only image supplied by the camera intent? The following seems to not work:
1) Asking the camera intent to write a 'full size' image to disk.
2) Writing your own camera app (issues on different devices etc).
The Facebook app seems to use the memory-only 192x256 option, probably because that's the only safe option. Anyone else have different opinions / experiences?
