Haha, I dropped my phone and it cracked the screen in half, so I have to send my cracked one into the insurance repair service. I have already received my brand new phone, but they want my old one. Already unrooted :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
After trying out several ROMs my GPS now fails to lock at all, I have tried every fix and about every rom. It seems I need to do a complete reset to my phone is as it was out of the box. Factory reset only takes me back to the default settings for my current ROM, how do I completely reset my phone? I have S-OFF and ENG-OFF, should I turn those back on?

I really don't want to do this, but my GPS seems to be fubar right now so I don't see any other option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Try this and follow the instructions carefully. This should make your GPS work again.

I have done this already, it does not find the file when I boot into hboot, is there any way to fix that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Did you put the file in the root of the external SD card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
Yes I did, it quickly displays a message along the lines of "wrong file detected", thats not exactly what it said but it was something like that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Download the hack kit: http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/ace-hack-kit-v9.tar.gz

Use the PD98IMG.zip file thats in the Radio folder in the hack kit and then:

3. Place the PD98IMG.zip radio file on the root of your SD card.

4. Power the phone off, remove and reinsert the battery.

5. Hold the volume button down and press power on.

6. The phone will boot into Hboot then Bootloader, It should see the PD98IMG.zip and ask if you want to apply the zip.

7. Use the volume up button to select "yes"

8. Once its done flashing, reboot the phone and you should have flashed the radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
I did all that, It ran the update, but the GPS does not act any different. It won't lock and it doesn't see any satellites.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Does the GPS icon flash? Did the update complete? Are you trying to use GPS outdoors? GPS wont really work indoors.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
The GPS icon flashes, the update completed, I am using it outdoors.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
Step away from the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Install GPS test from market and see if it picks up and satellites.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
It shows 2 satellites, but it seems to be periodically losing them. They show up for a while and then it will flash 0 and go back to 2. I am still not able to get a lock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
Would it be worth trying a different radio? I honestly don't know much/anything about what the differences are, but I am really tired of not having GPS and I am willing to try about anything.

[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Try the CoreDroid V8 ROM and see if it fixes your GPS. So you can check if its the radio or ROM
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
On the coredroid page it recommends to flash a different radio, should I do that? If I do it wouldn't really determine whether the ROM or the radio is the problem, but I assume they recommend that radio for a reason.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
He recommended that one for speed and smoothness and battery life. You can try to flash that one and see if you still have the problem.
[Droid X General] xVallex:
OK long story short. I bricked my X a few months ago and after trying to SBF to no avail i gave up, bit the bullet and filed an insurance claim.

Well last night after SBFing my current X using RSD 4.9 i gave my old X another shot. Lo and behold the damn thing works now!

So now i have 2 working X's. Of course the question is, what do i do with the original?

[Droid X General] tlozano09:
correct me if im wrong...

but isnt that illegal? i could easily "brick" my phone, file a claim, sell my "unbricked" phone and make a ton of profit? I'm not accusing you im just saying.
[Droid X General] EsotericPunk:
I think most of the insurance companies will blacklist the IMEI from your original phone as unusable through Verizon. So it likely won't work for long.
[Droid X General] xVallex:
I'm not looking to make a profit off of it, or even sell it for that matter. Just curious if i could use it as a movie player or something for my son. Or even put some games on an SD card for him.

I may just send one back to Asurion, but i haven't really thought that far ahead.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I'm pretty sure that you are required to send the old back to Asurion unless you want to get billed for it. Every replacement I have received came with paid postage back to Asurion. Otherwise people would have tons of "free" phones from defects.

I would make sure you check to see if you need to send the old one back. Otherwise they will probably charge you between $50-$100 for the phone. And that was a few years back for the pricing....I haven't had to replace a phone in like 3 years...not sure how much it is now.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Well now this phone is like 600 without a contract. They might force you to pay that if you dont send it back
[Droid X General] xVallex:
OK say i send the phone back, are they going to refund me the $50 i payed for the replacement? I doubt it.
[Droid X General] splashattack:
Nope but that's what you pay for. When I replaced my Droid Eris I had to send it back or they'd charge me $200, so I assume they'd charge retail price to your monthly bill. Better $50 than $600 tho.
[Droid 2 General] The Baron:
I wanted to install the 2.3 that came out for the d2. I did not have enough room on my sd card to drop it so I started deleting photos, downloads, and music using Astro. After this Android media serivce (I believe) started appearing on my watch dog and lagging the hell out of my phone. I though "hmm I have boot strap why not just restore to a few days ago. I restored my phone and hit reboot. It did not reboot it has not moved past the Motorola symbol once. If I plug it in it does the same thing. What can I do? is there a fix please help.

* I got to the screen with the triangle and then get to blue screen of hopefully life where I hit wipe// apply factory reset.

But there is a message saying can't open /cache/recovery/command is that bad?
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
If it still wipes even with the can' open blah blah blah then your fine. If it doesn't, keep trying. I had to try at least 4 times till it finally wiped once.

[Nook Color General] SCWells72:
Interesting article on the success of the NC:

http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/03/28/barnes.and.noble.said.shipped.3m.nook.colors/

Not sure if the #s they're stating fall into the "you can make any statistic true with the proper set of qualifications" category, but impressive nonetheless. This little half-price tablet is definitely getting some nice press of late!
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
yay nook color! the best ipad competitor!

(in sales)
[Nook Color General] =X=:
The nook is a great tablet once nookie or CM7 is installed.

I'm wondering how many of those sales are unmodified nooks?

=X=
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
Perhaps the xda moderators can help. If you assume every viewer of the youtube video on rooting the NC (~100K) and every unique xda viewer of the BN Android Forum has rooted one, that would be the number of rooted nooks.

Assuming 500K unique views of the forum and the 100K from youtube, that's 600,000 units that have been rooted. So it's about 20%.

Can someone provide the number of XDA viewers?
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
Rooted stock is pretty good. For flash i just remote in to my htpc
[Nook Color General] =X=:
Hm so your estimating about 20% are rooted/mod.

If those numbers are anywhere near the ball park that is a pretty impressive number.

=X=
[Nook Color General] timmyjoe42:
I interpreted that article as the nook accounts for half of the non-ipad tablets, not half of the tablets.
[Nook Color General] Azamatka:
I moved back to stock just to enjoy endless battery life. CM7 is cool, but still needs some polish. CM guys rule anyway :)
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Apple has probably moved 20-30 million iPads since the device was unveiled. Still, it is undeniably impressive that Barnes and Noble has sold half of the non-apple tablets in the U.S.

Just goes to show how much demand there is for a cheap, decent, 7" competitor to the iPad.

If B&N plays their cards right they can definitely leverage this to their advantage. The Nook Color could well be the one decision that saves teh company.

If B&N opens a robust store in April and loosens up on their earlier stated policy that the store will feature apps that "enhance the reading experience" then I predict the Nook Color will be a huge money maker for B&N (and they'll seriously cut down on ordinary users "rooting" their Nooks if they provide a decent in-house ecosystem for the device).
[Nook Color General] Ostrich Egg:
Wow. Impressive stuff. I've read several articles recently in mainstream publications (WSJ, NY Times I think) about the NC, so I'm sure that doesn't hurt.
[Nook Color General] Pre-dawn raid:
Yeah the word is getting out. I have met two nurses I work with that own NCs and they saw my rooted stock and begged me to set theirs up like that. I pointed them here [XDA] of course :cool: but then they'll show all their friends/family and so on. Hopefully the decision makers at B&N realize what they have and don't mess it up with price increases or restrictions.
[Nook Color General] Masterface7:
Thats is what it says the OP got it confused.

Meaning that All non apple tablets combine for 6 million sales and nook has 3 million.

The best I can tell from the internets is that Apple was somewhere at 15 million in 2010 and could sell 5-9 million ipads this quarter.

So yea nook has a very rough estimate of about 10% of the tablet market come the end of q1 2011.

Now if all 3 million of us could show our support and buy a few books, barnes and nobles should be okay.

All they have to do is allow sideloaded apk's and get ride of the cellphone drain issues and I would probably not care about rooting it.
[Nook Color General] netscorer:
The 3 million number means nothing. We all know that B&N sells Nooks at near cost or even small loss. Their strategy was and still is to drive ebook sales and not every sold Nook translates into even single purchased book. So congratulate you can B&N all you want, but unless they will translate the market penetration into real profits based on the sold books, this would be known as Pyrrhic victory.
[Nook Color General] SCWells72:
Actually that's what meant when I said, "you can make any statistic true with the proper set of qualifications". The thread title was taken directly from the article (that's why I added quote marks around it). I wasn't insinuating that the NC had sold 1:1 against the iPad in the US, just that they were stating some impressive numbers for it and that it's getting some great overall press across the board.
[Nook Color General] Ridel:
This is a really odd declaration.

Let's say that B&N sells their product at a loss. That still means that they have 3 million devices out there that are driving their brand name. They have an installed base of customers that they can drive applications towards (with their future app store), and they have the ebook store, and then they have all the accessories (which is where the real markup is anyways!).

So why the negativity? Selling three million units is a milestone no matter how you look at it.
[Nook Color General] Toys Samurai:
I think the article did mean 50% of iPad sales. Apple sold about 15 millions of iPads in total worldwide from its launch up to March when the iPad 2 was launched. It sold about 7.5 million in FALL worldwide.

So, if B&N sold 3 millions of Nook Color in fall in US alone, that would be a great success for a tablet that wasn't even marketed as a tablet.
[Nook Color General] Toys Samurai:
On paper, frankly, that's quite a bit of financial loss if a lot of those buyers are only interested in using their Nook Color as a tablet. But if there are at least 30% of them being used as a dedicated reader, it should still be considered a success because B&N is on the way to become the next Border's before the Nook Color came out. Now, they are back in the game. Whether it will beat the Kindle in the long run remains to be seen, but at least it now has a bigger user base to compete.

On top of that, you are right that even if many Nook Color users are using it as a tablet, it's still a form of marketing. In fact, it's probably cheaper than other forms of marketing because:

1) The Nook Color users still have to pay B&N $249. Their loss won't be too significant

2) Everytime the users look at their Nook Color, it reminds them of B&N. Consider the average lifespan of the device is 1 year, that's 365 days of marketing for a small price to pay

So, if B&N really did sell 3 millions of Nook Color, it would be hard not to call it a success.
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
and that for tablets the nook color is in second place in sales they get there name out there more with "success story" and "the cheap tab you don't know of", and "the e-reader that can" articles. its win iced in win sauce with a side of kickass
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
I lol'ed :)
[Nook Color General] boborone:
Fuk yeah. I use it as just an ereader, hacked my phones to bits. All the people at work who read are interested in it and now they want one. Kinda cool at the coffee shops I'm seeing more nooks and less glowing apples. I want this thing to succeed cause I like b&n and don't want them to fall like borders did. They are really pushing the update next month in the sales pitch right now. I hope it is a good one.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Last weekend my sister got married. I took my NC with me on the trip and showed it to all my relatives. A couple of days ago I get an e-mail from my Aunt. She was going to buy a Kindle, but after seeing my NC she now has to get a Nook Color... and she had a bunch of questions...

What's cool is that my NC wasn't even rooted at the time, so I don't have to go through the yadda, yadda about what she'll have to do if she wants to play Angry Birds right now.

Rom kitchen roms aren't flashed with ODIN. They're flashed with CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnniewalker39:
Can i flash with CWM in my situation ? If so, how ? And what do you recommend me to pick from there ?

If i can't flash with CWM, what else do you advise me to flash ? And how ?

All i want is this

1. a basic stock froyo version

2. a good, fast, reliable lagfix

3. 3-button-combos fix

4. recovery2e, not 3e

I'm asking because i'm unexperienced, and i don't want to try for myself and risk making the situation worse than it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furry Atom:
I'd flash JPU because I'm pretty sure the modem supports the Vodaphone Bands. You'd flash it with ODIN.

You can find it here. http://www.fileserve.com/file/zMHmnhv

Then if you want a kernel with recovery 2e and a good lagfix speedmod is probably the best. You can find it here. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547850&d=1300708313

Just flash speedmod using odin AFTER you flash JPU. It'll have CWM and 2e recovery. I don't think you'll need CWM and 2e until you read more about how to flash and troubleshoot though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnniewalker39:
Thank you for your answer!

One thing about this modem - will it lock my phone to Vodafone ? Although i bought it from Vodafone, i'll be using my phone with a SIM from another carrier, Cosmote, from now on.

Long story short, i'll want my phone unlocked.

As for the 3-button-combo, can i flash

this bootloader

simultaneously with JPU, all in one flash with Odin 1.82 ?

Or leave it for later ? (the 3rd step, after 1:JPU and 2:speedmod ?) Or just ignore it for now ?

Once again, thanks a lot for your answer!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnniewalker39:
So i'll have network signal, make calls, right ? Just for internet i'll have to manually configure APN (user, psw) ? If so, that's not a problem.

Well, i'm not sure what else i might need from the kitchen.

All i wanted in the first place was a stock Android version & a good lagfix.

When applying the lagfix, all my problems started, and then i discovered that i don't have 3-button-combo and or recovery 2e. I didn't even knew i needed them. And i don't think i'll need them again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnniewalker39:
It worked! My phone is back working again! :)

Thank you for your help!

I flashed as advised by Furry Atom in post

#4

, JPU and after that, speedmod.

Just after flashing JPU, the three button combos worked! I didn't expect that, i thout i'd have to install a different bootloader for them to work. Now i can quickly enter in recovery mode without "adb reboot recovery" command. :)

And no problem with the SIM either.

After flashing speedmod, it took me a while to figure i have to manually enable the lagfix and do the conversions from recovery mode.

I searched the

speedmod topic

for more details from another users, and for now i've done these settings:

1. enabled the first 4 tweaks from TWEAKS section.

2. converted system from RFS to EXT4 (and reboot)

3. and the rest as following

data_fs =ext4

cache=ext4nj

DBDATA=ext4

DATA_LOOP=EXT2

CACHE_LOOP=EXT2

DBDATA_LOOP=EXT2

BIND_DATA_TO_DBDATA=False

I did a Quadrant test just to check. Before enabling the ones above i scored ~1100, and now ~1600.

In real-life preformance, i didn't have time to test the phone enough, but it feels ok with no more freezing lags ...so far.

I also didn't have time to see how the battery performs.

There are some bad things though (that i also experienced before, with JP7 and i hoped speedmod would fix them)

1 - Sometimes when i begin a new game, it's smooth, sometimes it's really choppy for 1-2 minutes or so. In games with ads, (like

Klondike Solitaire

or

Four in a row

).

Is it because of the ads ?

2 - With some launchers (like

Go Launcher EX

or

Tag Launcher

) scrolling through the app drawer feels really choppy and jerky. What may cause this ? :confused: Especially when i have a live wallpaper.

Or that's the way the launcher is optimised ? (i'll upload a video if you want)

It's a shame because with other launchers (TouchWiz,

Launcher Pro

,

Gingerbread launcher

), scrolling through the app drawer feels way smoother.

But i liked so much the way you can sort apps into folders/categories with Go Launcher or Tag Launcher, but scroling is far from smooth.

I'm forced to choose between style or functionality. Why can't i have both ?

It might be a dumb question - but is there a method to make Go Launcher smoother when scrolling through the app drawer ?

Once again, thank you for your answers!

[EVO Shift 4G General] iczerjones:
Only had mine for about a month, so not much to say about the slide other than it works fine and is tight. I also came from the Hero and I pretty much bought the Shift for the specs and did not think I would like having the keyboard - I was definitely wrong about that. The keyboard is a treat to have and very nice quality wise.

The battery on this thing is nothing short of incredible. Running stock with bnice's 1.51GHz kernel and I'm getting about 2 days on it with moderate use. I generally charge every night, but if I forget, it's not really a big deal. Significantly better than the Hero was, even as modded as mine was.

I have had mine since 2 days before the official release from sprint. Heard a rumor they were selling them at radio shack b4 sprint so I went down there and they didn't even know they could sell them yet lol. Compared to my friends shift that he got about 3 weeks ago, his power button, keyboard and volume rocker buttons are out a little more and have a better feel than mine, like a firmer click. I don't really care that much, this phone is like a super hero compared to that little crappy moment I had
[EVO Shift 4G General] zeropants:
I bought mine about 2 weeks after launch and I haven't had any problems at all. My kb slider got a little loose but that's only because I've dropped it like 3x. It's a replacement to my hero.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
got my first one on launch day at radio shack (1/6 i think?) it lasted a week, the earpiece speaker crapped out. swapped it out for another new one and all has been well, slider is solid (very very little play while it's open, it's to be expected on a slider) solid battery life (way better than my Evo) and all an around great device :)

i'm running CM7 nightlies on it right now and it runs extremely well.

i would say i am happy with it....until something else grabs my attention :-P
