HTC Magic ADB Connection Problem

-
I am using my physical Android G1 Dev Phone for development(debugging) purposes without any problem. When I get my HTC Magic this week, I face with ADB driver problem on Windows XP (Pro SP3). It cannot detect my device and says that the driver file is not appropriate for my new device.

After searching a little, I have found that the device model is not specified in the .inf file. I am attaching the updated .inf file and you can just direct your driver installation to this file for HTC Magic. You can download the Windows XP driver* from here. It worked successfully for me.

You need to uninstall previously installed drivers if you have any for HTC Magic.

In order to understand whether it is working or not, just ask for adb devices from command prompt and see your device being listed there.

* Use the driver file with "AS IS" bases and I am not responsible for any damage to any of your devices.

While installing this driver it asks for "The file 'androidusb.sys' on ADB Interface Installation Disk is needed.

Where can I get this file?

Hey Jess,

You can find that file from your android sdk directory. The directory should be /android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2/usb_driver/ for the relase 2.

Hope it helps.

Thank you very much ^^. This is the 1st gift after 09/09/09 for me.

and yes, the adb interface could be found in the driver package that I think you could find it easily on the internet. It's only the android_usb file that didn't work( atleast for me)

Space Character Problem on IE 6, 7, and 8

-
Most of the time, we need to put space in between two HTML elements to separate them. There are bunch of ways to achieve this but the following are the most common ones that I use: Space character ( ) CSS Margin (margin-right/margin-left) Space character is so natural separate them but CSS margin gives more flexibility. Also recently, I found out that in IE 6, 7, 8, extra space characters between HTML elements are not rendered as intended. For instance regular space character ( ) is rendered without the space on older version of IE (older than 9) a   b Result in IE 6, 7, 8: ab Whereas, if you use CSS (e.g. margin-right: 4px), all versions of IE renders it correctly a b Result in all IEs: a b

Configure hosts File in Android

-
Alright, today I would like to work a sample web site and browse it not only from my Android Emulator but also from my Android G1 device. Since I did not make the web site public yet, I need to play with "hosts" file in order to direct specific url to my specific intranet IP on Android browser. The steps that I follow to accomplish my goal are provided below; For Android Emulator; 1. From the terminal invoke the adb command with remount option otherwise you will get "failed to copy 'hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Read-only file system". adb remount 2. In the terminal pull the default hosts file from /system/etc/hosts or /etc/hosts which is the symlink of the file not only for backup purpose but also to get the file to modify. adb pull /system/etc/hosts /home/player/hostBackup/ 3. Get a copy of the the hosts file in your computer and modify it according to your needs. 4. Now we can push the file directly to the emulator. adb push /home/player/hostBack...

Here is the latest bug I faced with; After my update to iOS 5 Beta 4, alarm clock on the phone did not work! I had to reset the alarm clock to make it working again, huh.
