So after running rooted Gingerbread for a while now I've noticed a few bugs and was wondering if I was the only one.

First thing is Swype. Yeah yeah, I know everyone has that one. But after uninstalling the old apk with Root Explorer and then installing the beta everything initially worked fine. But my first reboot after the install of the beta Swype force closes every time it trys to open. Uninstall and reinstall doesn't fix the problem. Weird, but not a huge deal to me as I didn't use it that much anyway.

Second, and the most annoying thing I noticed, is the back lit buttons stop lighting up after a certain period of time. The soft buttons under the screen and the slide out keyboard still work, they just don't light up. Rebooting fixes the problem.

Third is the built in battery manager seems to have some issues as well. Although it seems to inherently do a better job of saving battery life than in previous versions of Android. On my phone it sometimes won't come out of it's no-syncing state and allow data usage. Other times it will allow data usage after waking back up, but data seems extremely slow. Again a reboot fixes the issue.

And the last thing I noticed today. Although I haven't had any noticeable signal issues or dropped calls, I was getting drastically different signal readings sitting right beside a guy with a DROIDX at work. As in he was showing full 3G service and I was only showing one bar of 1X and like a -100 RSSI. I realize it's two different phones, but my understanding was that the X and the original 2 were pretty similar.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any of these things or if I'm the only one with some bugs? Or if anyone has any ideas about a solution for any of the issues?

FYI I'm far from an expert, but I'm not a complete Noob either. Although I don't have a ton of posts I've been hacking my cell phone since the days of my Razr and have had and rooted three Android phones to this point.

Anyway, thanks a bunch guys!

Only problem that I have is that using Launcherpro when the home screen is rotated 90 degrees (widescreen-ish) and then rotated back the wallpaper gets a "letterbox" effect similar to what you see on TV's. Haven't looked into it too much, probably just an issue with Launcherpro.
[Droid 2 General] phoffer:
You said uninstalling the old apk, but did you remove the other 2 related files as well? When I first got my phone, I only removed the apk and had issues until I found this link:

http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1641-Tutorial-Installing-Beta-Swype-on-Droid-X
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
I noticed the same thing. And actually LauncherPro in general wasn't working too great for me after the GB install. I actually kind of like the stock launcher in GB so I ended up deleting LauncherPro anyway.
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
Yeah sorry I should have gone into more detail. Yes I did delete all entries I saw that referenced Swype, including the ones listed on the link.

To be even more specific when I try to do anything with Swype it says "The applitcation Swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly."
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I'm having a weird bug where three shortcuts to games I put on my start screens keep disappearing: Bejeweled, Optime's Hangman and Tic Tac Toe. I put them back and they stay for a while, but eventually, just disappear. I even rebooted after putting them back and this did nothing. It's quite strange.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
mines the same and its weird cause it only does it to games

also i have the problem of the backlights only working when they want to.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
Maybe Google's way of telling us to get off the games and get to work?
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
Glad I'm not the only one with back light issues.

And I actually just noticed the games disappearing this morning. Weird.
[Droid 2 General] gamenahd:
The backlight issue bugs me to no end. I try to figure out how to restore it without rebooting but no success so far.

One other issue is that I can't access the multitouch keyboard. I disabled it because I really never used it, but then I felt like using it one day and there is no place to check to use it. I have SwiftKey installed as my only 3rd party keyboard
[Droid 2 General] AdropOFvenom:
I'm having an issue with ridiculously low volume on phone calls......any fixes out there because it's hard to use your phone, as a, you know, phone, when you can't hear the other person on the line. I may have to SBF back and wait for the official 2.3 if it doesnt improve.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
Rebooting takes care of the call volume problem.

Rooted Droid 2 running Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.20 update
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
Yeah I had the low call volume too, I think everyone did. It went away after the first reboot.

As fas as the games disappearing. Someone mentioned Bejeweled, that's one of the ones on mine that keeps disappearing. There are a few that do it, I don't remember exactly which ones, but Bejeweled and Stupid Zombies are two that I remember always disappear.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I mentioned Bejeweled. So far (*knocks on wood*), it hasn't disappeared since I moved it to the screen two to the left of the home screen.
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
What screen was it on before? They were disappearing from screen two to the right of my home screen.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
my games are on the 2nd page to the left and for me its stupid zombies, angry birds, angry birds seasons, and angry birds rio that keep disappearing, the other 4 game shortcuts i have don't disappear. I also tried reversing where they sit and the same 4 shortcuts disappeared, even sitting in different locations.
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
Hmmm, who knows. Even though all of mine weren't disappearing, just certain ones, it got annoying to me. I just deleted the shortcuts from my screen and pull up the games from the launcher now.

It is strange that its only certain games, and that we all seem to have the same ones disappearing.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I believe that's where it was on mine as well.
[Droid 2 General] kiwilit43:
Hopefully I wont jinx myself by posting this, but I think I found a solution to the back light issue. Applied it this morning and haven't had any issues yet. If anyone is still reading this thread, I will post up results and the fix tomorrow if it continues working.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
We are indeed reading the thread and eagerly anticipate your backlight solution.

You're running an Atrix that came stock with 4.1.52? If so there might not be an update for you since that was a different build from the att release Atrix. 4.1.57 was only released to fix some bugs. 1.52 might not have had these so no need to update.

In order to Arabize the SMS

1. Download Honso's Multi-language keyboard from the market

2. Download Honso Plug-in

3. You might need to install Honso's Myalpha as well from the market

In order to Arabize the Web experience

HTC Magic user complain of Arabic letters not being displayed correctly while browsing the net on Gingerbread, this is mainly due to a RTL problem in most of the roms available. The problem mainly lies in the Libwebcore.lib and Framework files.

A quick fix can be achieved by installing the latest version of Opera 11 beta from the market and making it your default browser. This should give you an acceptable Arabic reading on the web, Twitter, Facebook applications.

1. Download Opera 11 beta

2. Make it your default browser

This was tested on Yoshi Ginger 6.1, GB Cronos but should work fine on most roms.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s84471:
Happened to me a few times when using odin, and from what I could tell it was an issue with the cable I was using.

Shorter cables seem to work better for flashing, since there's less resistance in the wire and therefore (I assume) you get a better connection.

When it froze at something like that for me, I just pulled the battery and tried again. Eventually it always went through, and never bricked my phone. YMMV though

Hi guys, im having same problem, Android OS uses the most battery of all processes, but it is in use only when screen is off. Drain is about 1% / 3 minutes! I had it before on JVK but i fixed it by cleaning dalvik cache. Now on JVB nothing works. I tried to clear dalvik cache, deleted ota update apps, cleaned cache partition, fixed permissions, deleted batterystats, changed kernel, turned off autostart for most apps and the battery drain is still there, even after reboot :(

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick in LA:
I currently have a 2G miniSD card residing in my device. Its contents (a few albums worth of mp3's and an AVI) are found by file explorers and my media players variously play and don't play them as I've come to expect. Anyhoo, the card is there.

So I go to the "settings" menu to unmount the card before removing it, then to "SD card and device storage." There I see no mention of SD2 or microSD as I expected, just the plain SD card. Do I need to unmount the microSD before removal and if so where/how do I do that?

Secondarily, "on the SD card and device storage," there's a menu entry reading "Unmount in Progress." Is that a command I'm meant to invoke when necessary or is there unmounting going on? It seems to refer to the SD card. Why should I ever need to unmount that?

I bricked my Droid 2. I boot into fastboot, by pressing "x" while turning the phone on. I then try to flash a new ROM and I get this error; "E:signature verification failure" I don't know what to do from here.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
You are in stock recovery. You can't flash unsigned files from there. Unsigned means non-Motorola packages.

Simply reboot the phone and you will get out of stock recovery.

If phone can't boot, try wiping cache from stock recovery and eventually wipe data. If that doesn't help either, your next step is to flash SBF file. Refer to sticky here about what you need and how to perform it
[Droid 2 Global General] dklinko3:
I tried wiping the cache also and that didn't work either, if I try and reboot it just stays at the Motorola screen and freezes. What is this SBF sticky and where do I find it?

So I have a Telus Fascinate, Since its basically the same this as the Vibrant "plus a d" Should I be following instructions on how to root it on this forum. I tried to root it a couple months ago with Bionix-x or something like that and it bricked my phone and I'm scared to try again.

Basically my question is what kernel should I use? I have a Mac, is there a better program that ODIN? Also, Whats the advantage of using a program like SGS downloaded from the marketplace to flash after I root the phone? Is it less risky? I DO NOT want to brick my phone again.

Sorry for being a noob here, There's not alot of Telus support here and I don't want to mess anything up. I used to have a Touch Pro that was very easy to switch rom's on...I miss the old days...

If you're working from the stock rom, then you shouldn't have to worry about having to use ODIN.

I generally only use it when I screw something up and need to go back to the stock rom. I'm not sure what you can use as an alternative to ODIN. I'm sure there's alternatives to ODIN, but I'm too lazy to find what they are.

WARNING!!!!!!

I am in no way responsible for any damage or problems that may arise from doing this to your phone! You must have root access and that voids your warranty! Well kinda voids it if ya know what I mean.

So I've spent some time trying to figure out how to flash a voodoo kernel to my Mez. Well I figured out a very simple way to do it!

First download the EC10 ulv Voodoo

Second mount your phone as mass storage and move the EC10 ulv.zip to your phones SD card. Best if you put it in the root directory.

Third head over to the android market on your phone and install "SGS kernel flasher". The icon is a penguin in a blues brothers outfit sitting down.

Fourth open SGS Kernel Flasher and click "CHOOSE KERNEL" Find the .zip you placed on the phone and click it!

Last but not least your phone will reboot and do it's thing. Just wait and it will get you back to the goodness. "You should hear a ladies robotic voice telling you that it's setting up the lagfix.

All this in 5 simple steps! I hope this helps anyone who was used to the simple 2.1 root+lagfix and has had trouble installing or understanding the XDA Dev instructions.

Hi all,

Hope this is the right one of the four forums to ask this!

I used Auto-nooter x.25 to root my Nook Color to 1.01 three months ago. Has been working great, but I'm running into more and more websites that I want to see which use Flash, and I haven't been able to get Flash Lite working at all.

So now I've decided I want to upgrade to the 1.1 rooted ROM, but I've installed a whole bunch of apps. Is there a way to upgrade to v1.1 easily without losing all the apps and stuff I've installed?

Robert
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
download titanium backup and backup all your apps and data. After rooting restore them back. Howevre note that rooting alone will not get you access to flash sites and flash videos, either wait for Barnes and Noble's supposed upgrade or use one of the custom ROMs such as CM7
