[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keefo:
I had a similar problem where i could unlock easily, but one day, i just couldnt unlock my phone again (pre-nodo at the time)

So i just hard reset my phone back to the day i bought it, and it worked straight off again.... never had any problems with it after that...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FJosep:
The hard-reset is the one you do with the power button, the camera and the volume -?

I tried that and no luck :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ertz:
Have you tried unlocking from another computer? I don't know exactly how or why (probably related to me screwing with the Windows registry,) but the Chevron unlock stopped working on my laptop but would run fine on my desktop computer.

If the unlock works from another computer, apply the fix to prevent it from re-locking ASAP :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
As I said in another thread, was trying for a long time to unlock, couldn't.

I'm not very sure how it happened (via updating the phone to NoDo or else) but my Zune got updated and I couldn't unlock.

What I did is uninstall Zune, reset and reinstalled 4.7 with no internet connection. It can unlock now. Try this, maybe it works for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FJosep:
Thanks both, I'll try what you say, very good advices here :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internet6:
noo! ese no es el hard reset es como yo te había dicho te vas a settings luego a about despues en more info y abajo dice reset your phone, ai es

se te borraran todas las aplicaciones y musica y todo lo que tengas pero ya podras hacer el unlock

asi me funciono a mi y tenia exactamente el mismo problema que tu

me cuentas como te fue

[Optimus One, P500, V General] billyboy1995:
Hi. My wifi has stopped connecting to my wireless network. I have not changed anything on it and i have tried power cycling it. I have done a factory reset and have reinstalled the stock koodo rom. I have only had this phone for 9 days and i love it and i really need this fixed as i have no data plan :(. I only have 5 more days before the warranty involves sending it away. Please help me. the only thing i don't have that i may need is the sdk. I am not afraid of anything and i am computer literate im just new to android.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
are you using juice defender or anything like it ???? that used to turn off my wifi if not just chek the password and connections
[Optimus One, P500, V General] billyboy1995:
I was but when i went back to koodo stock i didnt install anything. It randomly started working again. Its probably the frequency i have my router set to. Ill set it back to auto like it was when i first got the phone
[GT540 Optimus General] MFister:
hi Guys, i just bought an optimus v. I'm thinking of buying the juice defender ultimate. Does it work well with the optimus or are there better apps? Thanks!
[GT540 Optimus General] pras680:
Bring down the brightness to 0. Turn off GPS/wifi/bluetooth. My battery lasts for 2 days. I dont see a need for an app for this.
[GT540 Optimus General] Davserer:
My battery lasts 4-5 days with wifi, games etc. My magic trick is to go to settings->sync->and turn off background data(autosync too)

I use stock 2.1, after upgrading from 1.6 my battery lasted 1-2 days only..after switching off background data it lasts 4-5 days..give it a try
[GT540 Optimus General] kAcA.:
Try the BatteryCalibration app from Market

Extended my battery life for 1-2 days!
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
You can as well try Tasker for much more intelligent management.
[Atrix 4G General] sofia-captivate:
Which is better I'm looking for new phone can't decide between these 2 . Any help? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] saar73:
the Arc got a better camera. thats it.
[Atrix 4G General] Zanr Zij:
If you need a nice and style looking + average spec, you should go Arc. If you need a powerfull, comfortable, long battery android phone, you go for Atrix 4G.
[Atrix 4G General] trickyhenry:
Arc is thin light and plasticy with great camera. Atrix is ok camera better build and much more powerful.

Depends if you really want a great camera exprience or the power and speed of atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] ennx:
I've owned both. The Atrix wins. The Arc is a cheap feeling, fingerprint magnet with a Sony Ericsson UI that is not the default Gingerbread look. It is a slightly improved Xperia X10. I dumped it after one day and went back to an Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
The Arc has a measly single core snapdragon processor, 'nough said.
[Atrix 4G General] ennx:
Yeah but it's very fast. It's faster than the Atrix, though I still prefer the Atrix. Use them before you review them. Please.
[Thunderbolt General] nemesys504:
For those familiar with Ziggy's work, he finally compiled a kernel for the Thunderbolt. It is a beta kernel so there will be bugs, so test it out. For reporting bugs please comment on his website. He is a great kernel dev. Please donate to him if you like his work. I am in no way affiliated with Ziggy, just wanted to spread the news.

UPDATE: My previous thread was closed because of a direct link I provided. I decided to create a new thread just for discussion purposes and bug tracking. You can google "ziggy471" to get to his site for the kernel. You can also google the name of the latest kernel update for the link.

Latest Kernel Update

:

Beta Kernels 10 Apr 11
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
Running BFS kernel, and getting the best battery life I've ever experienced. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
[Thunderbolt General] cabagekiller:
Last thread was closed because ziggy is not following GPL and is not posting his source, which is required. XDA cracks down hard on people who do not follow GPL.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
You don't get it...
[Thunderbolt General] nemesys504:
You are correct and I spoke to Ziggy on this issue and was told when his kernel is stable enough he will release his source.

Whether I get it or not, I think his kernel deserves a forum for discussion. Thank you for your 2 cents.
[Thunderbolt General] Sean Hicks:
I agree, my battery life is amazingly good.
[Thunderbolt General] ridobe:
His new test ones are out.
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
Yeah and it comes with a script! lol
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
Anyone else's phone running super hot with the new kernel that was released today? Mine is just too hot to touch almost...thinking about going back to the kernel before this update if it doesn't change soon.

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
I don't have access to a computer all the time (or very often). Is there a way to copy/paste that script into the init.d folder through Root Explorer (or another app) instead of having to push it with ADB? Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out. Having random restarts with the Kernel though so I'm reverting back to the BFS 4-6-11 kernel. That one was rock solid and the only issue was the proximity sensor.
[Thunderbolt General] Gunthermic:
I have his 4-10 BFS, what are you suppose to do with the script and why?
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
Going by what Ziggy said on his blog, the script is used to lower voltages/save a lot of power. I didn't have good luck with the kernel/script combo or just the kernel itself. It ran super hot and I was getting random lockups and random reboots on even the stock clock frequency. I moved back to the 040611 BFS kernel since the only issue I had with that kernel was the proximity sensor. The 040611 kernel also had insanely good battery life (or at least for how I use the phone, it did).
[Thunderbolt General] andrew53517:
+1. It locked up on me too and ran super super hot. Reverted back till fixed.

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
+1

mine didn't lock up, but it was warm all the time (even when i wasn't using it) and had insane battery drain, like 40% in 2 hours. i reverted to 4-6-11 kernel and all is well again

edit: this is obvious to xda regulars, but noobs should download & flash the MECHA kernels for Tbolt. all other roms are for other devices. if you flash your new Tbolt with an EVO rom, you will be a very sad panda
[Thunderbolt General] jlevy73:
Where is the source for this kernel?
[Thunderbolt General] eschelon:
This has been asked several times, so I figured i would jump in and share what I know...

I speak to Ziggy almost daily when helping him debug stuff and he has spoken rather openly about this. He's not playing games or avoiding the issue and is going to post his sources and patches soon. There are one-and-a-half reasons he hasn't so far:

The half reason: There are some voltage issues and frankenstine tree problems that are causing some non-booters that need to be fixed before a public release can be considered safe. Now, the reason this is a "half reason" is because some may argue that he still needs to release it under GPL terms even though it's a beta, while others would argue that HTC doesn't release their betas under the GPL until they are safe either. If they did, HTC would have dropped their source 6 months ago, but they didn't. So it's an argument of where you stand semantics. I'm not telling you where to stand on that one - make up your own mind. However, it is worth noting that Ziggy himself never started a TB kernel thread SPECIFICALLY for the reason that he did not want to violate XDA's terms in accordance with the GPL. Other users started their own Ziggy threads independently

The bigger reason: He is currently in talks with an intellectual property attorney in order to retain personal IP rights on some of the code he has personally written, and was advised by that attorney to not release his full source under the GPL since that source would include the code he is trying to secure. Once that is taken care of, he will release the bulk of his source and patches, while retaining a few flashable patches for himself of his own personal code to further enhance the kernel - assuming he gets that all worked out with the IP lawyer.

That may frustrate some people, while making others very happy. I can also tell some of the devs are getting anxious since they see Ziggy added/changed/removed over 35,000 lines of code in the TB kernel and their eyebrows raise a little and they want his source so they can see what he's up to ;) I don't know where you stand on the issue, nor will I tell you which side to take. I already have his source so quite frankly I don't care either. Again, I'm just the messenger sharing what I know. Don't hate on me if you don't like the info above - it's not my call

You'll all get the source/patches soon enough :)
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
i can't say i blame ziggy for doing things this way. it's his kernel, he has the right to do what he wants with it, including seeking intellectual rights. i'm glad he made his kernels available for the rest of us to try. more rom/kernel options is good for all of us
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
IANAL but sounds like walking a fine line...any of the witheld patches will be designed specifically for the purpose of merging with GPL licensed code. I'm sure the attorney knows his stuff, but at minimum doesn't seem in the spirit of AOSP.
[Thunderbolt General] jlevy73:
I do appreciate the quite thorough explanation regarding the rationale of not releasing his kernel source. While GPL is a discussion for another day, the whole thing for me is by definition, Android is AOSP. I'm seeing a disturbing trend not amongst developers so much but from manufacturers re-writing the rules on being Open Source. Take Motorola for example. They release all phones with a hardware lock on their bootloaders. Poor folks using the Atrix have to go through a ridiculous side loader app to download anything not from the market. Perhaps Google should start a new branch called the Android Unopen Source Project :)

Anyway, I don't know all the specifics behind Ziggy's IP issues so not knowing the full extent of the facts I won't comment on that. I respect Ziggy and appreciate what he brings to Android. I just don't want to see developers close their source code because if Cyanogen took that some approach where do you think the development community would be today?
[Thunderbolt General] detox246:
Post removed
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Not hating on you, but thats the biggest line of crap, ever.
[Thunderbolt General] eschelon:
Fair enough. Again, I don't make the decisions. I'm just the messenger relaying what I know

Cheers :)
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
I don't know the whole situation, but I am calling complete BS if this is exactly what he said. He distributed a linux kernel, his patches to it are now GPL (in a nutshell).
[Thunderbolt General] nemesys504:
Thank you for your 2 cents.

Ok well it seems like the whole thread took a turn in a different direction. Sorry Ziggy, Opps. :( Didn't mean for you to get this kind of attention.

Everyone has there own reason for doing what they do. Pretty sure HTC didnt provide the complete source for the Thunderbolt and while Ziggy is still making corrections to his source, I will support him and any devs work I use. Hey I'm flattered for him seeing that he is getting all this attention about his source code. He is definitely a great dev.

He has made no official statement about anything yet. I have spoken to him once my thread was closed and was told once his code is stable will he then release it, seems eschelon is very close to him and his work and has a more detailed reason. When Ziggy releases his code then can you have your conclusions and nag about what he left out.

C'mon guys I started the thread not him. I appreciate his hard work and time. That's why I started a thread. Pretty sure alot of people appreciate it too. He doesn't have to work on the Thunderbolt and other devices but he does and I thank him and every other dev out there for there hard work.

Funny how I came from the EVO and no one in that forum is complaining like this about his code. Smh. He seems like a pretty down to earth guy and would help anyone who needed it. Seems like everyone wants the whole pie not a piece.

Just my 2 cents.
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
That is not how GPL works, your must provide MATCHing sources to binaries you release. The source HTC provided, seems to match the 605.9 release.

Maybe leave the post to him if he wants to post them. If you are going to post things that deprive us what is granted to us under the license, and violates XDA rules, lets not post them? All he needs to do is make a tarball and upload it, not really hard, not really time consuming.

You don't get to release something, then clean up the code (Ala LG and their recent f**k up).

If you don't understand it, maybe leave it alone.
[Thunderbolt General] nemesys504:
Jcase, I understand everything your saying and your right. But to me given it's beta I'll take it for what it is, beta. Again I do know what your saying. But another way I'll look at it is as if I'm an internal tester. Before anything is released you want to make sure its quality before it is released. I am pretty sure kernel devs and ROM devs or any kind of devs have there own special testers before releasing anything. Even though it is publicly release (not on xda), you have the choice to use it or not and if you choose to, report bugs.

Hey google isn't releasing the honeycomb source until it deems it stable or for whatever reason they have. Just saying.

Again my purpose for this thread was to test his kernel and report any problems us (testers ;)) have.

One more thing I wanna say and I'm done. Jcase, I appreciate the work you have done for us Thunderbolt users because without you we wouldn't been able to have these choices. Thank you.
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
GPL does not make excuses refusing to comply on releases, alpha, beta or whatever.

Honeycomb isn't GPL, there is NO requirement for google to release source. That argument makes no sense.

Like I said, I don't know the whole situation, and I am simply replying to your post. I hope he didn't really just ignore people's requests, as that would be kinda ****ty, and from what I heard he is a good guy.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage0:
we know that we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting GPS model~

but I wonder whether we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting a garmin GPS(my garmin GPS type is 295w) by using the usb port?

thanks~
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xargon321:
i dont think so garmins gps is not set up to share its gps data over usb or bluetooth. you best bet is to get a bluetooth gps unit and use bluegps on the gtab to get navigation they modules run about 20-60 dollers for most and work just great.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndyLateNite:
Garmins don't work. I have two and neither will share their gps signal.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coyot21:
Actually Garmin gpsr's do share their signal via usb. I have used my gpsmap 60csx with my wndows laptops using garmin software Nroute and their mapping software. I am still looking for a method to use it with android.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndyLateNite:
But doesn't that require that the software can read the usb signal? I haven't found anything on android that will do this.

I went with a Tom Tom Navigator 6 gps unit (approximately the size of a pack of gum) and BlueGPS on the tablet. It works a little strange since you pair to the gps unit but it never "connects". It just appears in the BlueGPS service and it available to all the gps enabled apps on the g-tab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tester30:
I also use Tomtom Bluetooth GPS with CoPilot live 8.

Works great.

Although to answer OP's question about USB connection:

Viewsonic ROMs based on 1.1 version didn't have much of USB functionality.

Now, with 1.2 version released there is more USB support, as keyboard and mouse and several others.

I do not have 4391 installed yet, so cannot try it out.

Maybe someone else running recent ROM can try to connect USB based GPS and let us know?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbernasocchi:

Alright I think alot of us know about Swype on the droid X.

The beta is now open again, for all the android phones out there. It's realy easy to apply, and there's no wait, really, to get the swype keyboard. I myself abso-f**king-lutely LOVE it, because in landscape, the layout is a bit weird but you have a whole hell of a lot more space above the keyboard(all the better for scrolling and selecting your place in the text) plus, for me, even though i blazed on Smart Keyboard, im even faster with Swype.

You can apply for the beta here: http://beta.swype.com/

I don't know how long the beta opening will last. II were you and I wanted this keyboard, I'd go grab it ASAP. It's quite easy to install, by the way. Just make sure that your browser is in Android mode, not Desktop mode.(If it was Dolphin HD. YOu know what I mean, though, right?)

Screenshots coming soon, and will be on another post.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Realorasz:
Here are the screenshots!

Here in a little bit I'll post one with smart keyboard pro for the screen space difference.

EDITSCroll down and I have set this up to display them side by side as if you were holding them landscape. A comparison.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] diimaan:
yes it's a nice keyboard! I am using from 1.xxx beta's! but they should provide an option to enable/disable smiley/enter and mic button! etc...

otherwise usability at its best! :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Realorasz:
You should Update it. There's still no disable Option, but when Swyping there's really no need for it, as the space is auto entered and all that, not to mention in my version(the newest, 2.29.71.20203.t100), its not all that space hogging. The engine for it doesnt pick up speech that well on the X10. At least, that's what it's shown me so far. It gets most of it, but for example i said 'be' a few time in testing, and it spat out 'the'.

Also, in my version, there's no smiley key. I think they turned it into a long press somewhere. I'll edit the post after I check.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Realorasz:
...Is it really that boring of an input method????

Well, I have something the devs might look at. The site says the keyboard is skin/themeable by OEM's. Not sure what that stands for, but it's interesting. It'd be cool imho to skin it like the sense white letter/saymbol keys and then the delete, enter, symbol and whatnot stay the same.

For anyone who wants it, I'll soon have a video of me using the keyboard posted.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MarylandCookie:
I know its a new one lol :) i was just saying the skinning has been done in the past and the same templates work on the new one.

I have the newest version 2.29.71.20203.t100 with the skin in the link i posted in my previous post. Just took that skin and replaced the boring blue one with it.

Mind you my version isnt from the beta link above, although i am on the beta list, its from elsewhere with the checks removed. I just added the skin and signed it as the beta from the link wouldnt work even with just images replaced and re-signed obviously.

:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Realorasz:
Ah ok. Could you show me how to do that?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MarylandCookie:
First of all you need a working version (not from the beta link - obv) and secondly a skin which is in one of the XDA forums (cant remember off the top of my head), you might have to google it.

After that its a doddle and i will explain.

Once you have those or i will PM it tomorrow as its late and i have work in the morning. :( i will show you.
