[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cervantesjc:
if can't get into recovery without the 3rd button combo, is possible that you phone is hardware locked and probably can't get into download mode. This is just a tip for you and some other people trying new ROMS/KERNELS, do some research on your phone before trying anything on it, such as getting the phone in download mode, using odin/heimdall, remember that by rooting your phone you voided your warranty.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Odin wont work on mac so you wont be able to flash to stock using that but you could try this way to check if your phone really is bricked or not. Then you can try it out on windows and flash to stock if you were indeed able to enter download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
You can use Heimdall. I don't think it allows repartitioning, but you can definitely flash back to stock with it. See this thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmiles28:
Thanks im gonna try this out.... hope it works
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
So you can't get to recovery with buttons?

Have you tried:

1. Hold both volume buttons

2. Power on phone (no USB cable attached)

3. Release power button at first Vibrant screen (keep holding volume buttons)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmiles28:
I tried but i keep getting the same thing over and over
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
So are Odin/Heimdall a no-go?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmiles28:
I couldnt download Heimdall on my mac cause it is 10.4 and i need 10.5 but i did get it in download mode... Guess i gotta wait to get near another computer. more then likely ill use Odin i just need to know what files will i need to download to get it back to the way it was when i bought the phone.... would you know of any???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Right here. That's the stock firmware that shipped with the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmiles28:
Oh ok thanks so much for your help!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
No problem. Good luck to you.

Just noticed a stuck pixel on my tab. What is the best thing to do about it? Send it for repair?
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
massage it
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Still there. Will try taking it back to tesco
[Galaxy Tab General] junjlo:
if u have the dialer there is a screen test mode that might just do the trick let me think its *#0*#

[Galaxy Tab General] junjlo:
Man that sucks to hear I know this has nothing to do with tab but I've noticed psp and even some tvs have a pixle fixed and all it does is flashes through the 3 basic colors rapidly and it normaly fixes it
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Ok will try
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
trying jscreenfix now. so far no luck
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
bump still not fixed
[Galaxy Tab General] doby_p:
A dead pixel is usually just that, dead. It affects a small percentage of lcds and the only real fix is to get a new screen. So either send it off to get a replacement screen fitted or a cheaper alternative is to replace it yourself.
[Galaxy Tab General] henrylam:
Typically, defect of dead pixels (up to 5) is acceptable for a screen size of 7 inch, it is not subjected to manufacturer's warranty, same as for a laptop. It is under disclaimer notes. This is due to the properties of glass during manufacturing process.

I am not sure if Samsung will honour any wty claims on this?
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
If it's black, then it's probably dead and you can't fix it.

If it's a colour, then it's just stuck and (as you've tried) the jflasher app sometimes seems to work, you might need to leave it running for several hours though.

The early PSPs were terribly prone to stuck pixels, but they used very poor quality LCDs (hence the awful refresh rates), thankfully I've not had any recent devices (2 large TVs, tablet, phone etc) with any stuck pixels. I had an iMac for a while which had 3 stuck pixels, jflasher fixed one of them but the other 2 were stuck, one was about 2-inches to the right of dead centre and bright pink, so it was quite noticable.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
No, its stuck. Have tried running jscreenfix with no luck. any other ideas or am i best calling tesco again? I have also tried a pixel massage (Worked on my laptop after i got it back from having a new screen fitted (Glossy instead of the original antiglare - WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!) with 5 stuck pixels)
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Massage won't work on the tab, the glass is too thick.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Thought so.
[Wildfire General] hari2723:
Is it possible to downgrade your phone to 2.2 or 2.1 from 2.2.1 ?

I was stupid enough to upgrade it , and now I can't root it with Unrevoked .

I tried searching all through the internet , many suggest using the XTC clip , unfortunately it ain't available here :s

Please do tell me if there is anyway to downgrade it without XTC clip :S
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Downgrading will work, but, it wont downgrade the HBoot. So, if you wish to downgrade to be able to root, you are out of luck. There's no way yet apart from the XTC Clip method.

[LG Optimus 3D] wiebenik:
can we port this 3D ui to HTC evo 3d?
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
No idea, but SPB Shell 3D is a home screen replacement app that does the same 3D carousel job. Just relesed and probably not supporting 3D screens, but maybe they could add that support. Probably easier than hacking the custom LG app to work on a completely different HTC phone...

http://spb.com/android-software/shell/
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
Just sent them this question on their support web site, will report back if I get an answer. Up to 5 days reponse time says the site.

"Hello

Thinking about buying SBP Shell 3D for my LG Optimus 3D Android phone that has a 3D screen.

Will you add support for stereoscopic 3D screens when they are available for sale soon?

HTC Evo 3D is another upcoming 3D screen Android phone, both are supposed to be available mid 2011."
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
Got an answer in less than a work day, perfect.

Support for 3D screens is planned for future versions.

Great news for all 3D phones!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hynanthus:
Hi all!

Using Kaos Froyo v39 ROM on my Eris. Encountered a problem with "Mobile Network".

Every time I try to go into this menu it crashes. So i can't turn off my 3G. =)

Maybe I can turn off 3g in another place? (mb some widget)

I would not want to come back again to 2.1
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I forget if KaosFroyo v39 ran off a recent enough version of CyanogenMod v6.x, but if it does then in the CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Notification power widget menu you can add a 3G widget to the top of your notification menu (pull it down and it'll be at the top).

It may even by default already have the 3G widget. Otherwise there are 3G widgets on the market you can use. I haven't used KaosFroyo in a long time, so I'm sorry I can't tell you from first hand experience.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hynanthus:
Thanks for the advice

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mister-viper:
Hey guys,

I got a question regarding the number of wifi scans while the display is on.

By accident I saw in the settings that my Phone scans every 5 seconds for new wifi devices, even if it is connected to my own device. I'm using Darky's 9.5 with DarkCore. Is there a possibility to increase the time between scans when the phone is connected to a device already or to switch the scan off.

Greets
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V300:
You can set WIFI sleep policy in the advanced menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
@V300 its not what he wants. Wifi sleep policy does nothing when the phone is on (he using it)

@OP saw somewhere either a kernel, rom, script, setting or something that set the scan interval to 60 seconds. (or someone requesting it :) )

just search around with that number "60" and wifi scan (rescan) etc. Some threads will popup
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mister-viper:
ok thx pagot. I will search later for it. If I will not find it I will post again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yousufshah:
how to install radio through usb and card? currently bad rom is installed on my hd2

which is stuck on startup.so want install radio.i got a nbh file.so shoud i put file in card and rename leoimg.nbh or volume down boot and via usb?

dont want again brick my hd2

but there is HSPL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Firstly you have to have HSPL installed.

You can flash it via sd by putting the radio file into the root of sd card but don't forget to rename it leoimg.nbh. Don't flash radio 2.xx.51.xx if you have Tmous. It will brick ur phone.

You can also flashing it via USB but you need RUU (flashing tools).

Either way you have to be able to go into boot loader mode by way of press vol down and power on buttons at the same time.

Cheers
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Russm:
Hello,

Just recieved my woot.com gtablet today. Installed TNT Lite 4.4.0 on it. Browser is Dolphin HD 4.50.

For the past few hours ive been looking for a player that will play .wmv streams from a website (ex: click "newsvideo.wmv" on a website and a player opens to play it)

More specifically I am trying to get it to work with this one: etvnet(dot)com

The windows media player on the marketplace has bad reviews, so I'm hesitant to buy it.

If anyone could throw out a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Russm:
Seems like Moonlight/Silverlight could work on this website instead if I use the in browser player.

Anyone know of a Moonlight app / plugin that works on gtab?
[General Questions and Answers] Hafded7:
so its my understanding that when you use apps 2 sd it stores them in the android secure file on my sd . now if thats wrong all together then what exactly is that folder for ? is it my titanium backup files ? Anyway my question is if im not relying on my apps to sd back up anymore i.e all of my apps are on my internal hard drive and the apk files exist in another folder on the sd card can i get rid of those files in the adroid secure folder on my sd card ? its taking up 7.5 gb of my 8 gb sd card so i have no room to add anything and half of the apps in there i already uninstlled from my phone but yet they still are taking up all the room on my sd card....
[General Questions and Answers] zeemar007:
delete all third party apps.. except those present in the stock rom
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Just delete the folder. I would back it up first, just in case. If all of your apps are on internal storage, you should be fine.

If that doesn't work, move everything on your SD card to your computer and format the card. Then move whatever you need back to the card.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danboard:
So like most motorola phones the Atrix has a locked/encrypted bootloader; motorola has stated they will be announcing a plan for the bootloaders but most likely its just a PR stunt. I previously owned a Milestone and they were able to load custom roms (minus the radio/kernel) into the phone via a recovery mod.

Is there something stopping the atrix from having this same kind of recovery method to load this custom roms on?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link12245:
with the original droid/milestone they were able to mod because there was a leak of the bootloader which they reverse engineered to allow custom stuff. That's what most of the devs here are trying to do, but it's more tricky if you don't have the source for the bootloader.
[Thunderbolt General] mjesenovec:
Ok. Android phones are not blackberries, and I'm well aware of that. This Thunderbolt is not my first android device, so I am very familiar with setting it up and using it in such a way to make the battery last.

I'm not posting this to complain of the battery life sucking. I'm complaining that the battery is fine one day, and horrible the next.

So here's what happens. Yesterday, i unplugged my phone at 730am like i do every day. By 3pm with light usage, i was down to 40% or so. Charged it up before I left work, no big deal, lasted the rest of the night.

Today, unplug the phone at 730am, phone is completely dead, as in, won't even boot by 11am. Same apps, same usage, same location, same strong 4G signal, same everything. It has happened multiple times on consecutive days when i was rooted on the stock rom, and still on VirusRom. I just dont get why this happens. I am doing nothing different and my phone either lasts all day, or a few hours. It's getting to the point where I am finding it very hard to rely on this phone when i'm out and about. It makes no sense. Especially if i'm not really using my phone, just checking for texts once in a while, there is no reason why it should die. What if i need it? I couldn't even call or text my gf tonight while I was working because my phone battery was ZERO only a few hours after leaving the house with a 100% charge.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
yesterday I had abnormal drain on my battery. I get 18 - 24 hours on a charge normally, but yesterday I went from 100% to dead in 5 hours. Called VZW and they said it was a documented problem and they were working on it.

IDK, they are pretty good about pushing updates. Also, yesterday I kept dropping out of data. bizzare....
[Thunderbolt General] pliablemoose:
I burned through the extended battery in 9 hours yesterday, really hope they figure out some better power management soon,
[Thunderbolt General] hammer4203:
Switch it to 3G cdma rev.a and see if that helps. The 4G radio is always being searched for. I love the tb so I can deal with no 4G til they get the bugs out.
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
You have to use current widget and see how much power draw your phone is pulling. Then use system panel monitoring to track apps using the highest CPU.
[Thunderbolt General] calbruc:
Definitely an issue and I'm glad that Verizon is aware of it. I've had this unusual drain happen four times now, all on 4G. Last time I noticed it (seeing the battery percentage drop like 2% every five minutes or so), went to the Market and snagged System Panel.

The offending process is "system." Had my CPU spiked at 100% for over an hour before I rebooted, which does fix it, at the cost of another 10% of your battery, of course.

Hope they get this ironed out soon. Love my Thunderbolt, but this is a major issue and seems to be happening to a lot of people.
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
The best thing to do is dial *#*#4636#*#* and turn the radio to CDMA auto (PRL) mode.

I am already seeing much better battery life, as I am in a non 4g area.
[Thunderbolt General] mjesenovec:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to give that a try. I got into the radio settings, and after flashing VirusRom, my phone defaulted to LTE mode only. I put it to cdma/lte auto, to see if that helps. If not, i'll just disable LTE unless i really need it.
[Thunderbolt General] ridobe:
No need to dial all of that crap. TeamAndIRC has a toggle app called "LTE OnOFF TeamAndIRC" that allows you to toggle between CDMA and CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto.

I found out two things dealing with my massive nighttime battery drain. One, wifi doesn't seem to work correctly. I've never had the problem before but for some reason it doesn't sleep correctly. What I've done is changed the sleep policy to "15 minutes" which allows it to switch back to 3G fifteen minutes after I turn off the screen. That allows me to have wifi while I'm using it but 3G while it's idle. This has seemed to fix my problem along with... Second, I am on the fringe of 4G/3G here on the outskirts of Cincinnati. At work I am solid 4G but at home it can't make up it's mind. Well, that has certainly played into the battery issue as it is constantly searching. So, what I do is as I walk in the door from work I use the app listed above to switch to "CDMA auto (PRL)" and it sticks to 3G. When I get to work I switch to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto".

So, to summarize:

I have eliminated my nightime drain by doing two things:

1) I use the Y5 app to automatically start wifi as I walk in the door but have changed the sleep policy to "after 15 minutes".

2) I use the app above to switch from 4G/3G auto to 3G only.
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
LTEonoff is just a shortcut to the menu. In essence, it saves no time because you have to download it. If you're flipping it on and off all the time, then yeah, it might behoove you to just dl the app. But, as a one time thing, it's unnecessary.
[Thunderbolt General] ridobe:
^You are correct. I switch daily but I didn't see earlier that you were not in a 4G area.

I would highly suggest this to anyone who sees their data connection switch back and forth as I was in my house.
[Thunderbolt General] mjesenovec:
Battery life has been strong the past couple days now. I haven't had any unusual drains since i switched from LTE only mode to EVDO/LTE auto mode. I dont know if this was for sure the issue, but it seems to have made a huge difference. I haven't been plugged in for 2 hours and i still have 92% battery left.
[Thunderbolt General] Zshazz:
Here's my interpretation of the issue:

There seems to be some kind of problem or bug with the radio which makes it drain an enormous amount of power from some towers (700mA+ is shown on current widget). Even with good signal, I'll repeatably drain a lot of power in certain areas. The "fix" is to disable mobile data or switch to wifi. This lowers the power usage back down to (slightly lower than) normal levels.

For some reason, the radio will not admit to drawing practically 90% of your battery in the battery use menu (nothing does, in fact ... it just looks like normal battery use).

I'm glad to hear that they are aware of an issue that maybe causing this.
[Thunderbolt General] thunderboltglass:
I can't stand the battery life either other than that I love the phone
[Thunderbolt General] mjesenovec:
Yeah i'm still at 83% battery after being unplugged for 4 hours, light usage.

Another thing i noticed is that when my battery was draining stupid fast, the phone would be warm to the touch even when it was just sitting on my belt clip. All seems well for now.
[Thunderbolt General] schwab16:
Mine is good
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
My battery life has recently become terribly inconsistent. Last week I was actually getting through a 16 hour day with light usage, but this weekened I must have installed something because now the phone is lasting 3-4 hours with hardly any usage at all.

The battery information is pretty worthless because it's not showing anything except display using the battery and the display has only been on maybe 8 minutes.

Checked the partial wake info and nothing seems to be running in the background. The battery is just discharging like crazy all of a sudden. Guess Ill start uninstalling stuff to see what might be causing it :(
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
I am also having a weird battery experience today. I am rooted running Adrynalyne 1.9. Last few days I was doing great, moderate usage and was staying charged for 16-18 hrs. Today my phone has died twice during my 8hr shift at work. I KNOW something is wrong there. Hopefully a fix is found soon.
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
On all my Androids (4 of them currently in daily use), I've found that Words With Friends is often a HUGE battery killer...and I don't mean because you play it a lot, I mean leave it running and put your phone down, walk away a while, come back to the phone and it is HOT to the touch! Obviously killing the battery. Something to look at for sure.

I've got the extended battery and just went over 48 hours, with moderate to heavy use by my standards on a single charge. Pretty amazing and I guess I'm not in a bad radio area.

The only thing I love about the TB is the 4G...everything else on it, been there, done that. I wouldn't keep the TB if 4G had to be turned off to make it usable in terms of battery life. Hopefully it will be fixed quickly!

Thanks for that analysis. With that in mind, if it's accurate, could a Tasker app profile be set up that does your fix if the drain works that high? Would be a nice safety feature for those who aren't willing to have to look at their phone frequently to check battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
You have to use the current widget to record your idle power readings, its the only way to know what's going on. Then use system panel monitoring to see which app CPU is highest.
