I guess we should know more one 10.1v is on sale with Vodafone. I suppose Samsung wants to give them some breathing space. If they would give exact dates now (+ SoC name) they would undercut sales of 10.1v as I believe not many people would buy it knowing what is behind the corner (and how far to this corner there is) :-(.

Come on Samsung... Vodafone is doomed for failure with your 1st GT 10.1 as is Moto with Xoom. Stop wasting time and get me slim GT 10.1 - as I am on the verge of loosing control.... iPad 2 is here.... I could buy it.... I need to be strong (do I?) :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I think Samsung is now trying to dispose all those thick 10.1v from their inventory. Before they start selling the new ones.

For sure there are plenty of buyers if they price it right, unfortunately it is not.

The thing that I hate the most ... Google IO is just on the corner, next early May. What will it bring? For sure it would be the better Honeycomb, I hope.

Because to be honest, I don't want to use current version of Honeycomb. Too much crash / FC (see Xoom forums).

I would rather to wait ...

As for waiting, I just bought iPad2 ... for my wife. When I got my Android tablet, we both have one each, no need to share!

im new to the android community and im looking to learn how to perform certain tasks such a development. i am keen on picking things up fast, diving in and just learning from trial and error. im hoping some of you guys can shed some light on what are some things i should start out with. ive come a long way in picking things up because before the thunderbolt came out i was unaware of how to root, abd, roms and kernels. since ive owned it, i have rooted manually and put my tb through many flashes. id like to work up and just get a good sense of how to tweak app and mod certain features to make them more useful to me. so if you have any tips, tricks or just knowledge to drop, id love to know where i should begin so i can one day be a contributor to this site and its users. thanks

check out APK manager, it lets you get into apk's and make some edits and changes to XML files and layouts, etc. but not all of the source code can be extracted from apk's once compiled, just the way it is. but still allows for mods nonetheless!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Trigger is awesome. So is the dev team. Just download the trigger zip and put on your internal sd card. Boot into recovery. Select install zip from sd card. Then select zip. Flash zip then wait. Then reboot. Wait another 15 minutes and reboot again. Enjoy! !

Trigger 2.9.2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpolito73:
I came from bionix 1.3 & I love trigger. It seems a little more responsive & I got better quad scores (which doesn't mean much). Plus, Trigger thread is active meaning Roman (birgtime) is still making modifications & trying new things. I like to flash so this was a bonus. I think you'll be very happy with it but if not you can always flash back.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naifs_br10:
whats the difference between the menu style between bionix and trigger 2.9.2 cause like bionix is like eclair and trigger is like something new like the apps are altogether being scrolled up and down while bionix is like by page...so whats the difference and why is it like that? is it cause of the launcher or something?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trevlo:
I'm sorry if this was posted somewhere else, but I searched and nothing came up. When you root your phone does that mean you no longer can receive over the air updates? Or is that only if you have custom ROM's installed? That being said, is the ROM that you install to gain root access considered a custom ROM? Sorry... I feel like a n00b but I had to ask. :] Thanks

You can unroot and update, but be warned a lot of the time an ota update will also correct the current exploits that were used to achieve root access. If you are rooted it's usually a good idea and easier to flash a ROM that includes the update already. The developers get a hold of the source codes a few weeks before VZW actually pushes it to your phone and you don't have to wait for jcase, unrevoked, or whomever to find a new way to root if the ota breaks root access.

Hope this helps"

I was searching the same thing earlier bro and this is the answer I found.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trevlo:
Does this mean if I don't delete bloatware and just freeze it, then I can still get the updates? I read that article and I didn't see them answer whether or not getting an OTA update would take root off. Thanks for the response!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
No the point is if you root, have SU, and/or a custom recovery, the update will fail.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trevlo:
Good deal. Thank you for the info.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkybside:
So if I'm reading this correctly, a corollary is that if you intend to root but haven't, its likely a good idea to do it before the OTA is pushed, or else you'll have to wait for the developers to figure out how to root the new one?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLoonyRebel:
More then likely any important updates/fixes/etc will turn up in ROMs anyways.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcolino1:
so how do you disable updates?

so how do you disable updates I have a galaxy s2 4g service sprint I ve been searching around how to disable updates I keep getting prompt for one and it wont install root blocking it from installing I guess I just want to turn it of I read use bloat ware or titanum backup tried both same issue. I thought this would be an easy fix.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cujo6801:
try this it works

only difference for you will be lines 4 and 5

look for your current ro.build.fingerprint and change it to the current update...

oh and also don't forget to delete the update from your cache

If you are comfortable editing the build.prop then follow these directions.

Directions:

1. Use root explorer and navigate to /system

2. Mount as r/w

3. Long press on build.prop then click on Open With then Text Editor

4. Find the line ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys

5. Change FP1 or FP5 in that line to FP8

6. Press the menu button on the phone and click on Save and Exit

7. Mount back to r/o

8. Reboot phone
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcolino1:
I attached the file for more info.

mine reads:

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SPH-D710/SPH-D710:4.0.4/IMM76I/FI27:user/release-keys

do I change the FI to something else? if so this change will not brick my phone? this is my only cell connection to outside world.

the download system update that wants to install is a FL24 is it because the phone knows FI the FL will not install?

You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcolino1:
what additional info do you need from my phone, that will make this a more sure ok to do for sure no worries ? what about

what disconnecktie recommended "You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak"

is that safer, not sure where to find those files? I am doing titanium back. but i do not want to go through the hassel of reloading everything back on the phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Either way will work but the otacerts and updater both just catch ota information when it is sent out. You aren't deleting anything so it is impossible to brick from it. The otacerts is in /system/etc and the updater apk is in /system/app or course. Use a root file explorer like es file explorer and mount system as read/write.

Sent from my personally built from source CM10.1 N7.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcolino1:
so do I wait to see the update icon? then do the process

and to be clear the process is?

go to /system/etc then rename otacerts to otacerts.bak save it

then go to /system/app then rename update.apk to update.bak save it

how long does that change last if they are pushing the update wont it just come right back?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
They won't be able to push it anymore after that. Change it then reboot and they can't send then to you anymore.

Yeah your method will probably work. Don't worry about bricking. Make a nand first if you're that concerned.

Sent from my personally built from source CM10.1 N7.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcolino1:
so in yours you have

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys

you changed the FP1 to FP5

and for mine

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SPH-D710/SPH-D710:4.0.4/IMM76I/FI27:user/release-keys

you say change the FI27 to FL24 (use the FL4 because this is what the update is asking for?

what does this change do? does it make the phone think it got the update? your sure it wont brick the phone?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Make a backup of your build.prop first, so if anything should go wrong, you have a backup.

Even if you don't you could pull the one from the rom zip you flashed.

You would either then drop it into a flashable zip or adb push it to the phone.

Either way "bricking" isn't gonna happen.

I don't think anything you would do to the build.prop will brick your phone.

Make it not boot? Yes, it can by editing the wrong stuff or not doing it in a proper text editor.

But not booting, is not the same as bricking.

Make a nandroid backup of your entire rom, worst case you restore a backup.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cujo6801:
that's what it does...

and no it won't brick your phone....

I am having some serious issues.... :-)

I am new to the streak, and am absolutely loving it so far. I am coming over from the Samsung Captivate where I had installed CM7 and then MIUI, with no issues. But I find the streak to be a totally different animal.

I was able to find and install the official at&t 2.2 rom by renaming the package to update.pkg and placing on the external SD card. After running it from recovery I had a working 2.2 rom unrooted.

But, I want to root it. Super 1-click and androot doesn't work. And I can't even get z4root on my phone, whenever I try to DL it to my streak I get an unknown error and the phone says it can't support the file type. I want to start installing custom roms and everything, but this is so different from the samsung way to do things that I am completely lost.

Please help, and thanks. And as an fyi, I have been scouring the internet for all the necessary info, but nothing I have found helps.

Try the beginners manual first.

Good luck.

And if you have difficulties on installing apps outside the market, you could try these steps:

A. Setting -> Applications -> Unknown Sources. (check it)

B. Mail the APK file to the gmail-account you are using in your streak.

You can install it from you mailbox.

I have av Evo flashed to Cricket running Jiminy IV for the rom, it is rooted and nand unlocked. My question is do you have to use a special kernel to use an extended battery? I bought a generic 3500ma battery and cant get it to charge. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
well is your cord charger broken? if not then return the battery and get a refund or exchange for a working one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclive:
The cord charger works fine for the stock battery. Hoping to get this figured out
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
You shouldn't have to use a special kernel to charge an extended battery; I've used multiple extended batteries and they all charged fine regardless of the kernel. I've heard that some generic extended batteries won't charge in the phone and will only charge in a wall charger, so perhaps that's the problem. However, that's not a problem with extended batteries in general. I'm guessing the problem has to do with the phone not recognizing the battery as compatible. Perhaps, there's a kernel that has a work around for that, but I'm not aware of any. It might be worth flashing a bunch of different kernels and seeing if any of them work. You might also want to try wiping the battery stats (shouldn't make a difference, but who knows?) and testing SBC vs non-SBC kernels (I think the SBC mod only enables trickle charging, but maybe it will somehow allow your battery to charge as well). If none of this works and you don't want to use a wall charger to charge it every time, it might be worth spending the extra money on a Seidio 3500mah extended battery; I know that one charges fine in the phone. Hope this helps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
What I'm talking about is sometimes called a dock charger, but it shouldn't be confused with a docking station/cradle that the phone sits in and still charges through the micro-usb port. You take the battery out of the phone and put it directly in the charger, which plugs into the wall. It's like what you'd normally use for rechargeable AA batteries. Something like this: http://bit.ly/e8jXfQ. That's the best deal I could find.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclive:

If you don't mind paying a little bit extra you can get one on amazon here. Some of the sellers offer expedited shipping, so you should be able to get it pretty fast.
