[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
I spoke to T-mobile this weekend after I traded my G2 for what turned out to be a MT4G with a bad screen. Since I had insurance, they put the order through for me immediately, but unfortunately it hasn't shipped out yet. Won't get it till next week at this rate...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
My original MT4G had a good screen, but a bad power button. The replacement I got at the store was another unit with a good screen, and the power button was different, so the guys at the store pulled a bunch of them out and tested them all. They all had good screens.

I think the likelihood of getting bad screens has gone down with the newer shipments. They all also seem to be made in China, while some of the older ones were made in Taiwan.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcos.lennis:
I called HTC and they said to send it in for "repair". That means that I could be without a phone for like 10 or more days. That sucks. Why cant they just replace it and thats it?

Anyway, I havent taken it to T-Mobile becuase I bought mine from Craigslist (new). So I am not sure what they would say. If they ask me for prove of purchase or something like that, I am out of luck.

Any suggestions?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
haha, i love the way you think!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
add insurance to your account, and then say you dropped it and now the screen doesn't look right. don't say it came like that, because then they will tell you it's a warranty issue and not an insurance issue.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Call tmobile and make sure they have your ime #. Hang up then call back in a few days with the complaint. They are not going to ask you where u bought it, and if they do lie and say it was at a store
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
just wanted to add my 2 cents real quick...

for anyone that doesn't know when you swap your phone they send you a refurbished one to fulfill your warranty requirements.

normally refurbished phones sell for a 1/3 of the price as it was brand new so its pretty much like swapping out your $500 phone for a $150 phone...

just something to think about ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngpro83:
Okay I have been using the quadrant and been hearing about it with ROMs. I have had Quadrant scores range from 1000 to about 2500 so what does this really mean exactly? My reason for asking is I came from a custom ROM where my quadrant scores were close to 2200 all the time. Then I flashed the stock Ec05 ROM and my scores are in the low 1000. BUT.....I do not see any speed difference with either ROMs. I think the stock one is a little more stable and just as fast as the custom one I was on where my quadrant scores were sky high. Can someone please explain to me why exactly one would use the quadrant score for??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Quadrant is VERY inaccurate

and is just a measure of people's E-penis
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngpro83:
LOL..That was funny. I would just hate to give up the stock ROM because it is so stable and (fast enough) to have a custom ROM with issues and a high quadrant score. I honestly think I will be sticking with the stock ROM. I hope somebody will be kind enough to make some kernals or themes to work with it. If not oh well. Stability over quadrant score for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
I came here to post exactly this.

Get Quadrant Advanced to see exactly why it's BS - it's all IO scores, especially on some ROMs that use a little DB trick (no offense, if you guys still use it ;)) - then switch to Smartbench. Smartbench is a much more accurate measure, and the dev has actively reached out to Epic users in testing his latest version.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORDMAN713:
I was wondering about this myself. Think I'm going to check out Smartbench. Thanks k0nane for the tip and that awesome rom of yours :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Thanks for your support! Keep in mind 2010 is designed for single-core phones, and 2011 for dual-core.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson147:
Hi all,

I've been having a very annoying problem recently with almost every ROM I have tried. I suspect that I may need to update my Radio but I don't want to try unless I'm sure this is the problem (I understand that it's riskier than flashing a custom ROM).

When I answer my phone (only from certain people) I will not be able to hear them, however whenever I speak my voice will come straight back through the speaker into my ear. I can ring anyone perfectly fine which is strange.

I have tried this with both Oxygen and Cyanogenmod ROMS (both on Froyo and Gingerbread).

My radio baseband is:

32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14

I think this may be quite a long time out of date? Is this the problem?

Many thanks as this problem is driving me nuts!

-Rich
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson147:
Ok I've just used ROM manager to get back to stock and the problem is still there :(

I have no idea what this could be now! :(:confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
I doubt flashing the radio will actually fix it but I suppose you could try it. It's very simple to do. Just drop the radio zip file on the root of your SD then flash via Recovery. Takes seconds.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson147:
Any ideas what it could be besides this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Is it happening all the time? Could i just be your network acting up for a bit?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson147:
Unfortunately not, I've had this problem for about a couple of weeks now. And it's happened quite a few occasions.

My mothers mobile phone is a good way to test if anything has worked as she can never get through! I can ring her though which is the strange thing.....:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strix75:
Is it possible to do that? Record a video and use the light at the same time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aivarasdumbliauskas:
yes just download any flash light from market and then turn it on and go to camera ar record ur video :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strix75:
Ha ha it is that easy. Thank´s bro.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vito Andolini Corleone:
You can also use vignette camera app. In the advanced option you do have a setting option that will enable your hardware led while filming. I guess the easier method is stated above ^^
[About XDA developers] slvr00gt:
I wish XDA provided some form of centralized bug reporting/fixing control system, where bugs could be reported and resolution tracked. I think it would help both developer and end user: Developer could quickly evaluate which bugs cause the most pain. End users could judge stability of the custom rom by its load and severity of active bugs.

For this to work, developer, developers' trusted aid or third party should have a power to merge or delete duplicates to keep the noise out the system

What do you guys think?
[About XDA developers] max553:
That would be an awesome idea!

Browsing through 50 replies, or even 1000s of replies in order to see if a particular bug is solved is rather annoying... I can't even imagine how it is for the developers!
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
The biggest problem here would be users just needlessly filing things that are not issues.

Then devs would complain their ROM shows with more bugs, due to some idiot not being able to flash correctly...

It's a nice idea, but google spreadsheets can be used by a dev if desired etc...

Might work in small scale, but on big scale it would be a nightmare.
[About XDA developers] slvr00gt:
I totally agree, if such system is left to its own devices it will quickly become overwhelmed and useless. That is why I said this:

"For this to work, developer, developers' trusted aid or third party should have a power to merge or delete duplicates to keep the noise out the system"

Actually, opposite is true. Small projects can be handled ok without centralized system. Any larger project requires it. That is why all for profit development companies and most open source projects have it. Some of the custom ROM development is more like the good sized open source project. Many ROM development threads have thousands of replys

I was dumb and forgot to turn of lagfix when i flashed and now my phone wont let me install anything it works and stuff but i cant install any apps how do i go about fixing this problem? ive tried the repartition in odin with no prevail
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigmike88:
If you can go into recovery, disable lagfix, reboot. Then get into download mode and reflash via odin with this

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VAFIRC3N

if you want want custom recovery and ec10

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] zonark:
it wont load the voodoo recovery so it wont let me disable it ive tried loading a voodoo recovery from update in sd and the voodoo is disabled already and it wont let me change it to enable or anything
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
To disable lagfix manually you simply need to create an empty file (named "disable-lagfix") and push that to the Voodoo folder on your sd card and reboot - that will disable lagfix. (Even tho your CWM states that it's disabled, it's enabled and this is the only way to disable it)
[Samsung Mesmerize] zonark:
am i pushing it to the external or internal sd card?

and is it a empty txt file names that?

thank you for your help in advance
[Samsung Mesmerize] zonark:
and how would i go upon fixing the internal sd card it says that its full and it wont let me install any apps
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
If that's your problem you just need to do a factory reset.
[Samsung Mesmerize] zonark:
i just tried that it at first says it cant format data and when the phone booted fully it still says i have zero space

I have an idea but all the links to the voodoo kernels arnt working that ive tried does anyone have it? what im trying to do is install voodoo kernel then enable lagfix so hopefully it will recognize the old file system then use my backup to install the stuff i had when voodoo was enabled
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Well your internal memory is still formated as EXT4, and since you flashed something with RFS it's confused - you need to get the empty file pushed in and lagfix disabled - then you should be able to factory reset from stock recovery - then reflash with ODIN and you should be all fixed up.

In linux, you can create a blank file - it's not a text file but an empty file - I've uploaded one for you to use. Push it to the EXTERNAL sd card (in the voodoo folder) then reboot (you should hear the robot chick disabling it) - then try to factory reset from stock recovery and reflash 2.2 with odin (then you should be able to get into CWM and flash any rom you want, you may have to apply the "update.zip" to get into CWM from stock recovery)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P1LCV8B2
[Samsung Mesmerize] zonark:
anyway you can upload that in a zip it wont download should i have the voodoo kernal installed? if so could you by chance supply a download for it as well because i cant getting any of the links to work for the mesmerize

im not hearing a voice so do i need a different kernel to have her talk
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
You're killing me man... From what I gather, you already are running the voodoo kernel - and it sounds to me like you had lagfix enabled and forgot to disable before you flashed a new ROM - which means the ROM you flashed would have thought your phone was in the RFS storage system, not EXT4 - so that's what's causing you problems. (And more than likely, you won't be able to use recovery to flash anything since you're in this scenario, last time I did it this was the case. You also may not be able to restore anything.. dev block errors and whatnot)

What you need to do, is get your internal memory formatted back to RFS (this is why you need to push that file, which will disable lagfix, which means it changes it from EXT4 back to RFS) then do a clean install of 2.2 with Odin (you may need to do a factory reset, and clear cache partition BEFORE using odin - you can do this from regular recovery or CWM)

I'm trying to upload a .zip now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] zonark:
Woot i finally got it it was like a weird series of events i had to do rename that file to enable then had to disable and reflash then had to do the update file to boot into cwm red then had to erase everything i could ran into problem with erasing data flashed it again then loaded update.zip and did it again from cwm then ejected external sd and renamed to disable lagfix then rebooted into cwm again with it as default loader them deleted data and formatted it and flashed once more

the BAMMMMM got it working correctly again 100 percent

THANK YOU GUYS ALOT
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I think my brain just melted, but I'm glad you got it fixed! Remember to disable lagfix when you're flashing stuff! :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Easiest way is to odin another voodoo kernel. Just extract zImage and put in pda section no pit file

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orzech.miron:
Hi everybody

I have problem with my HD2 and NAND Android.

Everything was OK, everything worked great but one day I turned off and then turned on my HD2 to save some RAM memory. Data connection automaticly turned on (as always) and then I wasn't able to make any phone call. Also noone could phone to me or even send sms.

I've tried some NANDroid:

- Imilka's RAM Desire v1.0

- RAFDROID HD

- TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2

- and now I'm using Imilka's Incerdible Sense v1.0

None of this NANDroids fixed my problem. Additionaly, on TyphooN CM the "Cordy" game worked very well but on Imilka's Incredible Sense it's closing immediately after starting.

Any idea how to fix it?

Sorry if there was problem like that but I couldn't find anything. Also sorry for my poor english

Peace

PS. When I have WiFi turned on, phone function work very well

[7 Mozart General] chattoe:
Hi guys and gals,i have just orderd me a HTC Mozart. Its locked to orange and i need it for t-mobile.

Does any one know of a reptuable place were i can get it unlocked please.

Thanks
[7 Mozart General] cybernouris:
Same question from me.

I know that it may have been answered before, I used search but I can't find something specific, so excuse me for asking.

I have purchased a HTC Mozart from Ebay, brand new but locked to the Orange Network.

As I am currently in Greece, I really need to get it working with my sim. My operator is Cosmote.

So is there a hack to make the phone simlock free? Or is there a place one can buy a code to do this?

And if any, are they to be trusted? Is the sim unlock permanent?

Thanks
[7 Mozart General] boma23:
Hi all,

I'm an ex-pat who just bought a new phone from the UK, and also need a commercial recommended SIM unlock for a HTC Mozart, (currently UK Orange).

I have searched on here, and google, and the first one I tried at the top of google (htcsimunlock.com) has come back saying IMEI lookup failed, and "do i want to upgrade to a 'Deep search' for extra $15" on top of the $13 I've already paid... sounds like a con to me so I opted for refund (we'll see whether I get it or not).

I'm aware there's dozens on google, but can someone recommend one from personal experience?

Thank you.

Dom

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
While I was running the Stock SE 2.1 .435 release (rooted of course) my X10 was capable of automatically switching between the GSM data connection to any of my configured Wifi networks (at work and at home) without any user interaction.

I have a friend with a Motorola Milestone on 2.1 with this same behaviour.

Every 2.2 ROM I have loaded seems to have a problem with regards to this feature. Basically I have to perform a manual switch but here are two of the behaviours I have noticed.

On FreeX10 the SSID basically becomes disabled. If I am at home and connected to my home network and leave the cell area my 3G network becomes established and everything is fine. Once I get back home within the cell area of my WiFi network the WiFi connection does not become active. Instead I have to go into Wireless Settings and that's when I see it is disabled. Long press the SSID and choosing Connect gets me connected.

On [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] the SSID does not get disabled but rather it continuously fails. Same use case as above except when I go into Wireless Settings I see the SSID "Connecting" and then failing and entering the "Remembered" state.

My friend with the Milestone recently upgraded to 2.2 and will test this scenario to see if it is inherent to 2.2.

My question is, would it be possible to take the 2.1 Wifi component and use that in the 2.2 ROMs?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
It would be great this could get fixed, same problem is with the gingerbread roms.

Like u said, it doesn't even help when switching WiFi off/on again using my WiFi widget. U have to manually press connect on your specific WiFi connection.

Pain in the ass!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 2bullish:
I have the same problems, tried both roms and ended up sticking with Cyanogen, simply because it was less of a pain re wifi but i still have reconnection problems when leaving my house. The answer is to manually turn off wifi then leave, then reengage wifi manually when i return. A pain but, a small one
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
Agreed. Toggling the power does not help.

If it is possible to take the WiFi component (for lack of a better word) from another build I strongly suggest considering .435 because it worked phenominally under various conditions.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eizonuts:
yea my wifi doesn't seem to work well either with the FreeX10 rom
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bbvg:
I assume you already tried Blade Wifi Fix? If not, do so.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
The Blade fix was included in the CM ROM I installed. It looks like all it did was power cycle the wifi which as already stated doesn't help.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Try to delete included BladeWifiFix and reboot test again and if still not working install BladeWifiFix new from Market and test again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
I am on freex10 atm so ill try it on this ROM first.

What exactly does it do?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
FreeX10 is almost the same you can try it there too. What it does? Fix Wifi maybe, for some it fixes for some not so just try it you dont loose anything^^
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jags_the1:
i have been running free x10 for 3 months i suppose. it switches fine for me.

there where issues of WIFI NOT CONNECTING , no problems of switching though as u stated. so i installed blade wifi and everything was well.

i suggest what wolf says.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
I know what it is intended to do but I was wondering how it was doing it. being a technical person I don't like the shotgun approach because the end results are very hard to interpret if you don't know what you are actually doing

but I digress I have installed it and I will be testing as soon as I get home
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
hi,

after reading this i though ...

me and wolf include blade wifi on our roms.

for me i don`t have any issue regarding wifi on my rom. i get out of home with wifi connected do a 1 hour trip to my work and when i get there wifi pick signal without any issue.

but......

i don`t check right away, so.

like i said me and wolf we include blade wifi and do some changes regarding build.prop to save some battery. one of the most consumer of battery is the wifi.

on SE roms search for wifi every 15 seconds. on mine i change that to 380 sec and wolf around 200 (i think) so...could this be the cause of ????:confused:

i personally don`t believe removing blade will do any difference but...maybe those who had this issues try to change build.prop to 15sec ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
well we might be onto something...after installing Blade I was able to switch but I did not time it...seems to have taken quite some time though. I'll time it next time but I'm sure since it will vary because it looks like it runs a timer and I don't know what the details are.

I wonder if Z made the same changes to build.prop as you guys have. I would be interested in testing without this change.

Also, it would be great to know what Blade actually does. I wonder if it circumvents the changes you made to the intervals in build.prop.

Also, any idea as to whether we can use the WiFi component from the .435 build in these ROMs?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
Ren,

Is it possible to go in and change the value in build.prop:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=

Without reloading the ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
Yes.

Through root explorer. Just make sure you check all boxes on permitions and after that reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Zdzihu has set it to 15 too in his ROM and there are Wifi issues too so i dont think thats the Problem
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eizonuts:
i installed blade wifi but nothing has been changed. any suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
yeah I saw that is it possible thats to aggressive? I wonder how it set in build 435
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D-Trixxx:
OK. I've been watching what Blade does and all it seems to do is reinitialize the wifi. Seems overkill so I found this:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration.Status.html

I want to write an app that will monitor configured networks and set their status to Enabled.

The challenge for me is that I've never developed an app before but I have the SDK installed and it recognized my x10 so I'm good to go. Ill try to get as far as I can but I will need some help. Is there anyone interested in offering themselves as a resource if/when I need some help?
