[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LagunaCid:
About 33% of the time when I go unlock my phone, the screen simply does not turn on, but I can still press the trackpad and the capacitative buttons. I have to keep pressing the power button for it to eventually turn on (after having the screen brieftly flash for a bit every time I try)

I'm using Cyanogen 7 nightlies, and it has been happening for quite a while. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Cyanogen, or a g2 thing.

Anyone has experiences with this issue or something similar?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Are you overclocking? Screen wake issues have been well documented with 2.3 roms when you have the screen on/off animations turned on. So you have a choice, turn of screen on/off animations, or turn down your overclock.

I recommend having a search of the CM7 nightly thread and reading in to the issue a bit more.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LagunaCid:
Ah thanks, that worked!

Thanks :)

Turned off screen animations.
[Atrix 4G General] fallchild:
Im sure all the info is here already but im pretty nervous about bricking my phone. I'm on 1.2.6 but it kept asking me to update over and over and i would hit no but it popped up at the wrong time and i hit yes and it rebooted the phone and tried to do it. I pulled the battery out to stop it and booted it back up but now in my notifications it says next time i connect to wifi it will install 4.1.57. So my question is do i have to flash back to a stock rom (im on the gingurblur rom) before i can run the update. Also i used aroot to root the phone so since i already rooted if i flash back to stock rom and update to 4.1.57 ill retain root?
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
In order to update you will need to flash 4.1.26 if you don't then while trying to install the update it will fail. Once you update you will lose root and you will lose gingerblur as there isn't one for 1.57 right not. But you can keep root if you follow these instructions. Hope this helps.

PS. None of this will brick your phone just read all instructions and you'll be alright.

I was updating my buddy's DX to GB using the same method I used on my phone. Only difference was i used the rooted and deodexed version for his phone and just rooted on mine. I installed the zip update went to reboot and it won't move past the M screen. I called up tech support just to see what they would say and they said send it back and they'll send a new one. I made sure to be clear that the phone was rooted and they still said that they would replace it. I was shocked but happy. I have a feeling my friend won't let me try again on the new phone

I have exactly same problem as you days ago.

and I spent overnight and finally solved the problem myself, I was so upset and felt sad that my Droid X maybe turn to a brick. but lucky It's now alive.

How I recoverd was:

1. Turn off your Droid X

2. Press Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously and wait until to USB mode

3. Use RSD Lite 4.8 to flash to official 2.3.340
[Droid X General] Vettesfan:
Yeah I was doing it on little sleep and just grabbed the first gb file I found. Oh well he is getting a new phone
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
Well it will be the same process for the new phone, minus the SBF part. Be sure to install rooted GB first, then Deodexed after.

[Droid X General] murdoc158:

SBF back and tell VZW to cancel the new phone. If you had read the directions the first time this wouldn't have been an issue. Instead you f-ed it up, called VZW to get a warranty replacement, and VZW locks down new phones even more.

SBF back and don't f it up for the rest of us who can follow directions!
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
unfortunately this is why verizon and other carriers are starting to track root users. People that root and violate the TOS, warranty, etc then lie and send their phones back are stealing and committing fraud. If you dont know what exactly is happening when you do something, and dont know how to fix it if you **** up (if it violates TOS), then dont do it.
[Droid X General] Vettesfan:
I did not lie to them. I did call tech support, but I made it clear that the phone was rooted and I was attempting to install an unofficial update. They told me that I could still do a warranty return so I took them up on it because it is cheaper than insurance deductible which I was planning on using and was the reason I purchased insurance. I don't believe that is fraud. If I told them its never been rooted and it just crashed that would be another story.
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
Rooting voids your warranty. So, if you manage to get a warranty replacement on a rooted device, its technically fraud, irrelevant to the fact that VZW tech support let you return it.

Is talking the cable guy into giving you extra channels for free fraud?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happimeal:
Can someone please explain the difference between skins/themes etc. I am running bamf 1.3 with uber green skin from retrokid. I downloaded the honeycomb theme from rom manager, and after reboot, the only changed seem to be my bat icon and signal strength icon.

Are themes choosable in the os or are they always installed from CMR.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egeorgia:
A skin is something I stalled through the htc settings. I believe this was a newer option with sense 2.0 to help give users who are not rooted turning like options. There are many themes. You have to make sure its compatible with the rom you are running. They are not compatible. Most have to be installed as a zip through rom manager or cwm. Most developers make a theme that can be installed with their rom specifically. This phone is so new there isn't a ton of options yet. With my incredible there were hundreds here and there. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happimeal:
Yes a little, still just wondering why when I installed retrokids honeycomb theme via rom manager only thing that changed were the bat icone and signal icon. EVerything else I could see stayed the same, wallpaper, icons etc.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] The Holy Cow:
I have an HTC Touch Diamond DIAM100

I'd like to install Android or WM6.5. These forums contain too many information and I can't filter them. That starts with the many HTC models in this forum (MDA, CDMA, ???) I would be glad, if you could help me a little.

1. What Android version is best for my phone?

2a. Does everything work when changing O/S?

2b. Is it faster than WM6.1?

3. Where can I download Android?

4. Where do I find a How To?

5. Where would I find WM6.5?

6. Is it faster then WM6.1 on my phone?

7. Where do I find a How To?

I just installed the Android rom found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907509

I don't think you'll be able to use it on a daily basis, as it's somewhat emulated (needs Win to run, it's not native...yet), eats the battery way too fast and there are several issues that don't work properly (yet). For example, in my case, the Wi-fi performance is horrible, the speed is somewhere between 5-10KB/s. The developer knows about this and it may be fixed on the next version. Also, connecting to my PC doesn't work, at least on Win 7, because it complains about missing drivers and stuff. I have to turn on USB storage mode to be able to copy files on the device. After turning it off, Android sees the internal storage as empty, and there's no way to fix it unless I reboot the phone.

If you want to install Windows Mobile 6.5, there are plenty of ROMs here and it's easy to do it if your device is security unlocked. Take your time and read the tutorials on the ROM development forum, you'll get it.
[Nook Color General] tc80tc80:
For those having the constant cycling of the wifi after coming out of sleep or reboot, try this workaround.

Boot or wakeup Nook.

Enable wifi (any method)

Go to Google maps

(don't worry if the map isn't showing yet)

sweep to an area of the map you haven't been before

zoom in several times.....

wait up to 10 seconds....

Hey look the wifi connected and is stable..... :D

turn off maps...

I have been using this workaround for three weeks now and it works every time and I don't know why this works, but it seems that having an app drawing data seems to break the wifi out of its cycle loop.

If you go into the google calendar on PC you can add additional calendar that will add the holidays for your country. If not, the Jorte calendar app is nice alternative which would fulfill what you are looking for.

This is not "the newest kernel" it is a proof of concept that was only meant for people to toy with. The kernel is not fully functional and will never be developed or supported.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squshy 7:
Its not an error, its just that you don't have an ext partition on your sd card...

The ext partition is used to store apps on the sd card (NOT in the same way froyo moves apps to sd)...so the point is that a cwm backup will also back up those apps so when you restore it you'll have your apps back. It just a message letting you know it didn't find an ext partition. For all intents and purposes, ignore it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraiinblack:

If I'm on a rooted Epic with CWM3, and its converted to ext4, I don't NEED to have an sd-ext partition?

Hi - I bought an unlocked UK G-Tab which I think was P1000XWJJ7. Samsung Keis said there were no updates but when I looked at samfirmware.com it seemed my firmware was produced in October 2010 and there was a European firmware P1000XWJMK from Feb 22 2011. Must be better I thought! Anyway I used the Eur Pid file and the P1000XWJMK files with Odin 1.7 and it was all going fine until I hit a fail message about movinand.mst. Try as I might it won't work. So I downloaded the JJ7 firmware again (this was not as 3 seperate files, but one tar file) but try as I might it keeps failing to flash. I've tried various pit files but none seem to work.

Can anyone help me get back to the default UK unlocked rom?!

Correct me if I am wrong, but installing to NAND would limit you to the amount of apps that you can install since not all apps support Moving to SD. Wouldn't you rather run a newer build, like American Android off your SD?

You can create a partition on your SD which extends your internal memory, All user data is pushed there ;)
