[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I'd totally use that fix if my camera worked with it. :S
[Epic 4G General] poit:
any kind of quick reset (quickboot or pulling battery with power on) is bad news on a non-journaled ROM.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Try the camera APK from EB13. The camera works, too - only the camcorder doesn't.
[Epic 4G General] mis3:
No camcorder is a deal breaker for me (have a 6 year old that loves home movies). Hoping for a new kernel soon.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Try the APK from EB13 before you say that. ;)
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I thought everyone knew not to use quickboot that's why the roms have reboot in the power options but I'm scared to even use that and never have.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
midNIGHT rom came with Quickboot.apk, so I assumed it's okay. I'll ditch it right away, though.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
not meaning to hijack the thread butttt

is adb reboot acceptable to use on a non journal rom?
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Yes. 10char
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Lmao...is my phone about to die? Why would a phone start to die base on the amount of roms and odim. Are you trying to compared your phone to a human that lived a life of drugs and alcohol and is now it last leg?

For some reason my notifications (messages/email) are not vibrating. My vibrate is set to always vibrate as well as within the messaging and email apps. I just started noticing it not working today. It used to work fine. Any ideas what the problem could be?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
I'm dumb. I finally figured it out. It was something with the volume control pro app.

Is it possible, and how hard would it be?

[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
I've just updated my master APN database (kanged from a number of firmwares from a number of platforms). It's now got just over 1900 APNs in it (versus the Galaxy Tab default of a bit over 400). Now yes, there's probably a few duplicates and "alternate" configurations for given Telco's but odds are there's an APN in here for most occassions.

You'll need the "APN Backup & Restore" app and then dump this file into the /sdcard/ApnBackupRestore/ folder, then run the app and select "Restore" and then "Yes" when asked if you want to check for duplicates.

If you can't find the APN you need, then this _might_ help you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoyBlunder99:
Sorry - not enough posts to post in development thread.

Anyway, I rooted and installed Das Bamf 1.2.1 tonight and everything's fine on it. Only problem is that I can't install anything Google related from the market - everything downloads fine, but the installation comes up as unsuccessful. I have tried clearing out cache/data for Market, as well as uninstalling updates, but that doesn't help.

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
before installing this rom, did you do a full wipe? wipe data/cache/delvik cache?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
If the google apps were modded or changed or signed when they baked the rom you will have this problem because all google apps are signed by googles own signing key. So wait for the rom dev to update their rom or use a different rom or delete the google apk in system/app folder and download

I would love to see this theme ported to the Thunderbolt! I love this devs themes such as this one and viva azul. Can anyone port this ?

there is a member from bad seed here in the TB forums. Should ask him if they will be porting it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
We will definitely be looking into porting the viva series and slayers dragon series in the future (as soon as I actually get a bolt) but for now I do have a cyan skin which is based off of viva and dragon. I also have a launcher pro themed cyan with custom launcher from our cyan series. So even though the whole theme isn't here yet, you can still sport it....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
i just did the update and use shawnbuck exploit to stay rooted. but now i lost mobile hotspot. Im in canada using the phone with Fido, mobile hotspot was working fine before the update but now when i try to turn it on i get a message saying that my account is not set up for wifi hotspot and need to contact ATT to enable this feature. is there anyway i can get this working again?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little_beat:
I'm in the same boat. If you're still rooted, Barncale WiFi Tether should work like a charm. You can download it in the market.

P.S. And its icon is so cute that it's worth installing it just to have it on your desktop :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Hey man just wondering how you got the update already? I'm also on fido in vancouver and I thought the update was only for att?

Sent from my Motorola Olympus
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
i have a ATT phone and just sent to settings>about phone>update but make sure you check the root thread in the dev section first, theres a few things you need to do with ADB if you want to keep your root.

Thanks little_beat barnacle is much better than Pdanet that i was using.

anyone know if mobile hotspot works for ATT users in the states after the update? and is there a fix?
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
It started when I first installed leedroid 2.3d after rooting my fone, then with CM7 RC1, Modaco Fr11 (default options, with MoDaCo additions), CM7 RC2 and StarBurst Lite. I faced the same issue while using Google Maps (data & GPS on). It keeps rebooting. Sometimes it would reboot within a minute or so after starting Google Maps. Sometimes it would take 5 minutes. Not sure what the issue is, but I have a feeling this may not have anything to do with Google Maps or GPS. Cos couple of times the fone rebooted while playing some games with an active wifi connection. But the problem occurs 100% with Google Maps.

I never faced this issue before rooting the fone or even after rooting. The problem only started after flashing the first ROM. After that I have even tried restoring the previous backup for stock ROM, but even that started giving this issue.

Here are the details about my fone:

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.14.05.17

8 GB micro sd card with 512 MB ext partition. I guess its class 4.

Another thing to note is that when I try use a memory card reader to read it on my windows 7 PC, it just wont show up. The same thing happens if I try to use gParted boot CD to read the card. However android seems to read it perfectly fine. I am even able to mount the card from fone using USB storage option.

Is this memory card the issue?
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
I forgot to mention that I was using apps2sd+ in some form or another for all ROMS except StarDust Lite which was using Data2SD script.
[Desire General] brandall:
Have you tried running the application when it is stored entirely on the phone (not part or whole to SD)?

Reboots and Bootloops have been present in the latest ROMs. The latest Oxygen ROM has applied the Google update to apparently fix these. It's there to try in the ROM section for you 2.0.2.
[Desire General] mr_norris:
Dude,

You're not gonna like what I'm gonna say, but your symptoms match those of mine. Check out the thread I created here.

Now, adding to that, the rebooting started again but this time when using Wifi for a long period, playing games and using mobile data.

What I'd do is try rule out Google Maps. Try use Navigon or iGo.

Two things I learned was that changing ROM's won't help. Neither will changing radio's.

Of course it could just be Brandall mentions.
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
I haven't tried running an application purely from the internal memory. However when I restored my stock HTC Desire Froyo backup, the issue still existed. That didnt have any script for apps2sd+ so Google Maps was running purely from the internal memory. Anyways, I will try the Oxygen ROM later today evening and see if that fixes it. I have also ordered for a class 10 16 GB micro sd card. Lets see if that helps.
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
I have already ruled Google Maps out since I was able to re-produce the issue even with other navigation softwares like Sygic Mobile Maps & NDrive. I am even able to re-produce the issue without turning on GPS or using any navigation app. Just an active wifi and playing games will also reboot the phone randomly.
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
One thing I noticed today morning was that when the phone rebooted, the back of the phone was very hot. On removing the cover I noticed that the area below the SIM card gets hot. Is there where the processor chip is? Is it possible that may be somehow the CPU was over clocked by certain ROM which I have flashed before? Is there a way by which I can check this under current ROM (Stardust)?
[Desire General] brandall:
I would suggest that first you monitor your CPU usage and battery temperature with SetCPU - it can be downloaded for free here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419 (worth a donate though!)

You can set up a profile to monitor your battery temperature and sound an alarm if it's getting too hot. Running this whist testing your GPS may well diagnose the problem. You can also ensure that you are not somehow already overclocking (which I think is very unlikely).

If this is new to you, make sure you have a good read of the instructions so you don't blow your phone up!

Assuming overheating is the issue, then hopefully you are under warranty and you can return to stock and send the phone back.

For further diagnosis on CPU Usage, battery temperature levels and discovering apps that are taking up resource, I would suggest SystemPanel from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 - it's pretty damn sh*t hot and has a monitoring service for diagnosis. I'm not sure if that's available on the free version though, but if you try it, you'll want to buy it anyway...

Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
[Desire General] mr_norris:
I'm gonna be blunt, I've been through this.

You are wasting your time dude. If your phone is still under warrantee, flash an original RUU and take it back to get repaired.

Its a hardware problem.
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
brandall, I have now tried it all now but nothing stops the random reboots. I guess I will have to get it replaced while its still under warranty. Lately the phone reboots even without getting hot. Plus, it reboots even without having any active wifi or data connection. Just playing Angry Birds Rio or Angry Birds Seasons for a while will reboot the phone. The only time it doesn't reboot is if use the phone for listening to music or while taking calls or messages. Other than that, it will randomly reboot on using any "smart" application. Even the browser...its damn frustrating. Thanks brandall.
[Desire General] thekonfuser:
Thanks mr_norris, I guess I will have to get it repaired or replaced. Thats all that is left...
[EVO 4G General] BlueScreenOfTOM:
So my girlfriend picked up a Thunderbolt, and I have to admit I'm pretty jealous of the 4G speeds and coverage she's getting. In our building, I don't get any Sprint signal at all in the basement (I always roam on VZW), meanwhile she's speed-testing at 18mbps. In fact pretty much everywhere we've gone in the area, she gets LTE coverage both inside and out, much unlike the EVO's pretty-much-outside-only WiMAX coverage...

I've found WiMAX to work pretty well if I'm outside or in my car, and I'm sitting perfectly still. Of course I can't leave it enabled unless I use my extended battery, or else the phone will be dead in short order.

I guess Sprint's 9 months of being the only provider with "real" 4G phones was nice while it lasted, but VZW is really kicking ass now when it comes to 4G speed and coverage, to the point where I'd say they're pretty much the only player in town.
[EVO 4G General] kanyewest:
So u saying ur gonna switch to the thunderbolt
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
Well, yeah, your lady is going to get blistering speeds because there might be 1000 people in your whole city with LTE right now. Verizon says it expects 5-12Mbps on "loaded cells." I just touched 10Mbs in Manhattan -- on a loaded net. Not saying WiMax is perfect; far from.

Here's the thing: it doesn't matter to me if you go to VZW -- in fact you're one less connected user on WiMax, so I'll be incrementally faster. :D If you're gonna go to Verizon, do so once you see what performance of both the net and the device is going to be -- in real world, saturated network situations.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Realistically even when the network gets loaded itll still be faster than wimax. Just like with twice the users the 3G is better also. It just is what it is.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
Im not willing to pay verizons prices...thats all it comes down to for me
[EVO 4G General] animal7296:
Same thing here. I am ok living with sprints lesser service for the price difference.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
The frequencies Verizon has for LTE are fundamentally better than what Clear/Sprint are using for WiMax, at least in terms of building penetration. The higher frequencies do have some advantages, but to me they're *completely* negated by the fact that I go from an "Excellent" 4G signal in the parking lot at work to alternating between "Poor" and "No signal" as soon as I walk in the building. VZW could put Wimax on their frequencies, or Sprint could put LTE on their frequencies, and either way, VZW would win. If Sprint deploys LTE on the Nextel frequencies, we'll have a much more even race.

That said, I like what I pay for Sprint and (especially with the AT&TMobile thing) I don't want to see Sprint fail. I'm sticking with them for now. But 4G on Sprint has been very, very disappointing. There is a point in time -- yet to be determined for me -- when I'll suck it up and pay VZW's prices if Sprint can't improve the 4G network in a major way.
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
This isn't necessarily true.

As a standard, WiMax has potential for higher speeds than LTE. Significantly higher -- like 30% higher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wireless_data_standards

The question is, implementation, as always. Of course, it may be a moot point, as Sprint may cut bait from Clear (because of their mismanagement) and go with their LTE plans with LightSquared in tow.

My point remains, leaving Sprint now, based on VZW's LTE speeds NOW vs what they may be when fully-loaded might be a grass-greener-on-the-other-side move. And you know how that usually ends up...
[EVO 4G General] wrecksa:
My house is small and my work has thin walls, I get awesome 4g speed pretty much all the time. I guess if where your at you don't have the same results switch. You'll probably be happier.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Yea and 10 times out of 10 we will NEVER see wimax speeds that high.. not if Clear is responsible for deploying it. And honestly the grass is greener not only interms of 4G speeds, but coverage and 3G speeds as well. In terms of VZW vs Sprint you pretty much get what you pay for. In terms of data I rarely even use the evo anymore. Turning on my wimax is pointless honestly unless im close to a tower. Even if VZW's speeds get chopped in half, which I doubt, itll still be faster than wimax here. The biggest factor is if you look at how many towers VZW has here as compared to Sprint, it makes sense as to why you can get LTE pretty much everywhere you go in in Metro Atlanta as compared to Wimax.. where once you leave downtown you're not really guaranteed to get it at all.
[EVO 4G General] asenduk:
still love Sprint...

Long time Sprint here my self..

But 89.99 + 20% discount for unlimited 4G with Verizon was only $10 more than what i was paying with Sprint..

I love Sprint to death, but until they use their 800MHz spectrum for 4G then i'll be staying with Verizon..

I mean look at these insane speeds...

:eek:
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I just made this exact post in another thread lol. VZW is NOT that much more than Sprint anymore. Especially since Sprint made the $10 premium data mandatory for all smart phones. And im telling you now, if VZW does decide to make that promo that they ran for the any mobile for the same price, its gonna get ugly.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Dont see how its trolling when its the truth. *shrug*
[EVO 4G General] gtkansan:
VZW is not much more for an individual user, but with a family plan its a lot more. Total for my 4 smartphones was 60 more a month. Not worth it, especially getting 10Mbps down everywhere I go. 15 vs 10 is just not a big deal to me.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
my plan three evo's after tax and 22% discount is 167, verizon for two phones not three after tax and discount was 189!

But like it was said if vzw did anytime any mobile. I might consider it. but then again 90% of people we know are on verizon so maybe it doesn matter.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
these are the same customers that complained about the $10/fee

they aint going to pay $10-20 more ...

i agree sprint wimax signal is a joke.. i am in DFW (one of the major oginal wimax cities).. and it sucks!... so much so that I use a ROM that does not even have wimax support!.

i sure hope that sprint has real plans to fix this asap with wimax...not lte.
[EVO 4G General] BlueScreenOfTOM:
OP here. I switched from VZW to Sprint for the EVO, so I knew what I was coming from. When we got WiMAX here (DC/Baltimore area) it was at first very spotty, and it's still moderately spotty. I suppose I was expecting to see the same from VZW's LTE offerings, at least for the next year or so, but I was surprised to see how... good it is. I'm sure once the network gets a little more saturated the speeds won't be as good, but still, having 10-12mbps everywhere on VZW is quite different from having 3G in most places and 4G in a few select places like I'm used to now with Sprint.

I'm not saying I'm going to switch back to VZW... I hated the way they nickel-and-dimed everything... I like Sprint as a company much better. I just hope maybe they'll at least increase the back-end WiMAX speeds a little so they can be a bit more competitive with VZW LTE at least with speeds (I know the penetration isn't going to get much better...)
[EVO 4G General] mrufino1:
I will never go back to verizon for any reason. I don't really download that much on my phone that I can't do when I have wifi. Since having 4g on pretty much kills the battery, I leave it off most of the time. I love the evo, and if sprint improves things then it's even better.
[EVO 4G General] J MONEY:
same here, i have had them both, but sprint has been the best company for me. and where i work i roam the WHOLE time . but when the end of the month comes and that bill is in front of me i remember why im here!! o and of course the EVO !!! FTW
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
The people that switched to Vzw due to 4G are the torrent abusers, I mean how much do you REALLY download on a PHONE that you need 4G speeds constantly everywhere you go? Biggest downloads I do are ROM's and those take about 5-6 minutes on 3G and about 2-3 in 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
I'd love to know how you can download a ROM over 3G at 5-6 mins. The very fastest I've downloaded a ROM on 3G was 27 minutes, and it was 178MB's. I get full bars where I live, but my 3G speeds are beyond terrible. We do not have 4G here in the Capital of NY, but Verizon is going to roll theirs out here, and Sprint had a two year headstart and is sitting on their thumb.

I've been a loyal Sprint customer for years, always tried to promote them to people, but they're not making it easy anymore.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
This is my 3G speeds at my home where I have absolutely 0 service 99% of the time, im lucky to get 1 bar.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
I'm not sure why your home speed matters. If you are getting 2MBPS down over 3G, perhaps you are downloading ROM's in less than 10 mins.

How about mine?

Beginning in May, the ETF for all three of my lines will be less than 200 dollars total. If Sprint doesn't get figure out what is wrong, they'll be losing three more to Verizon, and trust me, I HATE to go, but this is just unacceptable.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Well, that's because I don't have a speed test outside of my home and I'm home now so I figured I'd put one up under horrible conditions so you can "imagine" what good conditions are like. I'll do one tomorrow outside.

By the way, there's nothing "wrong" with Sprints network, they are adding capacity to their towers and upgrading the way their network works, so while it seems it's "broken" it's just being upgraded. You can't change a cars tire without parking it. For those that decide to stick it out until their network is fully done, they will be extremely happy, trust me.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
DS, don't get me wrong, I love Sprint but the speeds you see I have been enduring for over two months now. Something is wrong. I don't have 4G to fall back on, and if its going to take 6-8 months to "add capacity" to their towers then perhaps they need to hire more help. A whole lot of us have been "sticking it out" with Sprint for a hell of a long time, at some point Sprint is going to have to start producing more than prices that went from significantly lower than their competition, to marginally lower.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I'm in the same boat brother, believe me. In my building, a Sprint retentions center I get speeds of 0.01Mbps, I've been dealing with the exact same issues in certain areas. Speaking of this, I need to do a PRL update.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
And theyre retarded to the point where they dont come out and tell people this? Instead they put you through the whole "its your phone" or "ill get a tech out to check it" when the whole time its because they're upgrading the towers? All the while losing customers to other carriers as a result of it. Some of the most backwards ass business technique ive ever seen. And seriously, does it take 6 months to upgrade a tower? Sounds like BS to me.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
Well, I honestly hope it does get better. I'm happy with the prices, I'm happy with the phones, I'm not even screaming for 4G. I just want acceptable 3G speeds, hell 700KBPS + would make me happier than hell.

[EVO 4G General] engelsione:
For me, verizons for my 2 lines the bill will be $209. 00. With my Sprint im at $172. 00 so thats one.

Second i am getting speeds of 6 to 8 mbps constantly here here in Cincinnati, for me thats enough.

Third, just in May or june the new EVO3D will arrive and will eat that thunderbolt for breakfast!
