[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Well, one thing I noticed is if I am on WiFi or with data on, I tend to find my phone. Microsoft uses three different methods, I believe, to find your phone. One is using the location caching sent from your phone regularly if you have that on in the setting. The other is sending an SMS to force your phone to send a location, in which case your carrier needs to support global SMS I believe, and lastly, they send an email to do the same thing the SMS intended to do.

So first thing you should do is to check whether both boxes are checked in find my phone in settings. Secondly, be patient, if Microsoft can't locate it right away, they will send you an email when they do find it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justsignbythex:
Whenever I receive calls on my N1 running CM7 RC4, I would have to wait about 5 seconds before the caller hears anything I say.

For example, when I receive a call, I would say "Hello? Hello?", but the caller wouldn't be able to hear it. After 5 seconds of doing that, they would finally hear my voice. The phone call would be normal after that.

I'm running radio 5.08 and have the Dewonkificator app installed.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrench115:
I think this is a gb issue. I've had the problem on geos, and every cm7 rom I've tried. Pretty irritating. Might be wrong. I've tried all 3 radio versions as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Most of us have a 2 second pause, 5 seconds is a lot. Best to do is either wait till you see the call timer begin counting before you speak. Or wait to hear the call Mic noise background hiss then speak.
[TG01 General] borderfox:
Hi. I recently bought this phone. The No.1. draw in purchasing it was the ability to use a full size usb keyboard with it - for writing emails, etc. (other android phones seem to suggest that this is available or about to become available - but I couldn't get a clear answer on this so I went with the TG01).

It works fine. However, a usb keyboard (rated 50mA) uses up the phone's battery in half an hour! Is there a discreet/compact powered usb hub that I can use to power the keyboard - and still allow the phone access to the keyboard?

My specific scenario means that I have no means to install any software on the pc that I am using (its a work thing).

Looking forward to any further insight that anyone can provide.
[TG01 General] wafeeq:
No, This is a major problem with TG01, You can use the port either to charge or to connect to USB Hub or Headphones..

In my opinion, you have the following alternatives:

1- Buy a high capacity battery.

2- Buy a bluetooth keyboad.

Hope this helps.
[TG01 General] borderfox:
Hi wafeeq. Thanks for taking the time out to respond. Is there any other smartphone (or mini tablet) that will do this job with a usb keyboard?

I guess I can go for an extended life battery - I think there is one on the market that is 4x capacity - so thanks for that suggestion.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Having such battery from Mugen ( it is only company I know that makes 2400 and 3900 batteries for tg01 ) You will have bigger back cover ( You can even buy big cover itself - You will save a lot of money. Mugen has very expensive batteries ) so if You know proper person , You can create any junction in it ( maybe with addition of few electronic parts ) to .... charge battery from external charger ( or usb slot from PC or laptop ) in the same time when external battery will be connected to tg01 usb host.

[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
In the weeks and months leading up to EC05, there were tons of links like this one:

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EC05.rdf

With EC05 as the build number [E = 2011, C = March, 05 = Build 05]

I've tried everything from EC06 to ED09 and there's nothing new. Why haven't we seen new build numbers popping up? Did Samsung/Sprint discontinue these sites? Are they afraid we'll notice Gingerbread in newer builds?
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
who said they are making new builds?

and really if they are jumping to gb then it will be a while before they "build" it to test out
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I've always assumed it was a mistake that those little files were being posted publicly, anyway. So it means nothing to me that they stopped appearing other than that they probably now post them on an internal server.
[EVO 4G General] cody0707:

[EVO 4G General] redsoxfan320:
Savage-Mod

I would get Savage mod 1.1 with savaged zen 1.1.0 cfs havs sbc. I've been using it for the past week and it has been great. The texting and phone it self is faster and smoother than any rom i've used and i've been through most. I am currently on 65%, its been unplugged for 8 and a half hours. I understand that others may have better battery live but i'm using my stock battery, which is great cause I saved money and didn't add any thickness. PM if you have any questions.
[EVO 4G General] sisspc:
I'm on Myn's Warm Z with Netarchy 4.3.2 cfs, sbc, havs more. Even with heavy usage (including video streaming and web surfing) my battery lasts a good 10 hours. I can't recommend this combo enough. I had horrible battery life with the stock kernel on Warm Z. Only thing is, depending on her hardward build, you may have to test a couple different kernels.
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Easy answer:

EViO 2, SetCPU to underclock to 921, remove sense and use ADW.

Long answer:

To really figure it out, you'll have to try a bunch of diff ROM/Kernel combos for a couple days each.

I would try with CM7, the ROM from "yet another AOSP ginger ROM," Salvage-Mod, Savaged-Zen(Mod) RC2, Miui and whatever sense ROMs you want.

Also, Juice Defender and Autostarts will help you.
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
I recommend CM7 with a Savaged-Zen ROM CFS- SBC. Even after flashing a new nightly, I avg. 13-14 hours the first day before the kernel is broken in. Best of all Roms that I've tried and I really use my phone (data & mp3). Forgot to mention, I use Setcpu with profiles.

You saved yourself 13 dollars and 6 mm...my god!
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
Let's face it: women have a better sense of style than us dudes, and no chick in their right mind would put up with having a hideous cinderblock of a phone. 6mm might as well be an inch when it comes to stuffing a phone into her jeans. In the interest of keeping our women looking fine as hell, let's find software solutions to battery life :D

To the OP, try this first: go into settings/wireless and networks and uncheck enable always on mobile data. When I was on a stock Evo, this helped me immensely with battery life. Also, uninstall any task killers she has. Check what programs are syncing with the internet too, it's really just data use that eats up battery life with these phones.

Also, post up a screenshot of her battery use screen, maybe we can help figure out what the drain is :) Even a stock evo running the latest Sprint update should get around 10 hours, minimum, with moderate use like facebook and texting.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
so you base your decision off the fact that your wife/girlfriend/friend will be holding your phone and will buldge out of her pocket...maybe YOU should be holding YOUR phone, but hey i guess im weird, my girl might hold my phone, but she doesnt stuff it in her pocket and walk around with it thats stupid, besides my girl puts everything in her pocketbook as most do, keeps the figure :), at least thats what i tell her lol
[EVO 4G General] mrufino1:
I am running well with deck's rom (the "yet another gingerbread" rom), rc9 now, and the new savaged-zen kernel (1.1). The phone is running really well. I just tried the undervolting script and that made a few reboots, which never happened since I went aosp last month, so I removed that. battery life seems really good though. 1st run through on the latest kernel went from about 11pm last night until 6pm today with pretty good use. I expect as it settles in it should do well.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Juice defender should help immensely if all she does is text and fb

[EVO 4G General] Dan_:
I'd pay to have my phone 6mm thinner. You can't argue personal opinion bud.
[EVO 4G General] ZuperBlahq:
Using the latest savaged Zen rc2 with whatever it comes preloaded with. Its pretty beast.
[EVO 4G General] zuzonline:
CM7 RC4 with Savage Zen 1.1.0 kernel, Seidio 3500mAh battery will give you DAYS of battery life if you use it moderately to little usage. With a stock battery you will still get over a day easily.

I have wifi on most of the day, live wallpaper (the smoke one), I DONT use any task killer (because it actually slows down my phone), Bluetooth is on and connected to my car whenever Im driving (at least 60 miles per day)

I believe that if I have to use airplane mode, turn off GPS, not use wifi, not use the phone to its full potential then I rather have a cheaper phone and get a laptop...

The screen shots below were made with STOCK battery because I wanted to know the real difference in battery life between the roms!

Note the usage... I listen to music, voice calls...

here is another comparisson...

I really hope this helps you find what you are looking for :)
[EVO 4G General] zuzonline:
Actually, lies, those screen shots were made with gginggerbread 6(which is based on CM7) with savage zen 0.2.something...

The following screen shots were made with the specs I mentioned in the previous post... Its possible that the battery has improved :) note the 10 hours of usage and only 12% spent and bluetooth usage :P

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure how I "succeeded" in doing this, but it seems all the pictures from Timescape's Facebook stream are gone. There used to be the profile pictures on each little tile under the Timescape Facebook stream, but they are all the default blue background with white coloured heads now. I also noticed that if I go into the each individual contacts' details in my phone book, the Timescape - Facebook area shows no profile picture, but the Facebook app's area shows the profile picture.

I tried removing my Facebook account from Timescape and redoing my Facebook account in Timescape, but no joy.

Anyone experience this and know a fix? Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoH2102:
Hi all,

I was just trying to flash a friend's phone after flashing my own Galaxy S countless times, but it wouldn't get into download mode. After searching the forum I tried one of the methods of getting it to go into download mode - Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 the file was called. However, it failed, and now I can't get anything on the phone other than the phone to computer error icon. Tried 3-button download mode, no joy.

Is there anything we can do, or should he send it back and get a new one?

Cheers in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean2476:
Did it go in to download/ recovery mode before you flashed it? Sounds like you need a jig to force it in to download mode!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoH2102:

[HD2 General] valv507:
I sold a phone on Ebay to somebody in Cyprus.

The buyer claims he never received it and filed a claim, I lost 300 bucks and a mint HD2.

I found out the buyer now sold a similar phone on Ebay too, approx 3 or 4 weeks after I shipped mine. I was able to get my IMEI number from T-Mobile (very helpful, I was impressed).

Can I find out where my phone is ?

Buyer ID was " closedosier " now he changed to "gericy"

IMEI 357779030232175
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Kinda sounds like they pulled a fast one on you and actually got the phone then sold it but told you they did not get the phone. Could T-Mobile not track it with the IMEI? I wish I knew of a definite way for you to track it via the IMEI. I did find this on Google though, here is the whole list Google pulled up. best of luck man.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Did you tell tmo to block the imei too while you were on with them? That's about all you can do, since its involving separate countries.the main prob with that is most countries have their own blacklists, so it may not do anything, but with a hint of luck the buyer gets it blocked and complains. You don't get it back but at least the seller loses out and gets a dodgy seller review.

Just gonna have to claim on your postal insurance, (please tell me you sent it "signed for",, if not,, well,, no comment)
[HD2 General] valv507:
TMobile cannot block it since it is not their phone anymore, I already asked, I have to file a Police Report.

I mailed it Priority with tracking, but it stops at when it leaves the USA, no tracking to Cyprus. Insurance was declined since USPS does not publicize well they don't have insurance for some countries, and guess what....Cyprus is one of them.

If the guy that bought the phone from by buyer/thief has actually my phone, I feel sorry for him too, he'll get a surprise very soon since the IMEI will be reported as stolen, and he'll get scammed.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Blimey, I think I'd go into the theft business too,, no proof of delivery?? Its a wonder anyone sends anything there at all!

All hail the British post office!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah it sounds like the person that bought/stole the HD2 knew of the no tracking and knew they could get away with it. That sucks that a world wide company like USPS can not do anything else for you. I think you should press the matter with USPS myself.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
definitely....
[HD2 General] valv507:
USPS cannot do anything since there is no tracking and no insurance, I already went this route.

My only alternative, now that I have an IMEI is to file a theft report with the police dept. here then I can open a case with FBI and IC3 which are federal agencies working on international frauds.

I won't see my money back, but at least the phone will be listed as stolen, IMEI on blacklist, and will never be able to be registered.

I just feel sorry for whoever bought the phone from my buyer/thief
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Shame those blacklists aren't global, if it goes outside of Europe/us it will probably work. Most stolen phones end up in Africa or the middle/far east where they couldn't care less.

As for the new buyer, did you email him to let him know to check the imei? (I already pointed him in the direction of this thread, fingers crossed it will black list and he'll complain about the seller.)
[HD2 General] dugiteddy:
Next time be sure to inform the buyer that there is no insurance offered and no refunds. I've sold an hd2 to a similar place where insurance wasn't offered and made sure to tell him this.

It's not your fault if it gets lost in the mail. You sent it.

Also, if they didn't like it. You could have easily sold it to someone else.
[HD2 General] valv507:
I found out the new Ebay ID for the guy is gericy

Beware of this person.

Apparently this guy does not know what the law is. Guess what, after I posted this thread on XDA he contacted me begging to remove, and claimed the fact that he "forgot" the claim, and he was "away" for a while.

He doesn't understand he broke the law and he should be punished. Try to rob a bank then when the cops find you return the money and say I'm sorry, you still go to jail. This is exactly what he did.

He refunded the money to me after making him reverse the neg feedback he left on Ebay, but then I found out he uses different IDs, probably to avoid consequences.

To all out there be careful if you buy anything from gericy
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Cool, result!
[HD2 General] valv507:
Amen brother !! Don't underestimate the power of XDA !!!! It can catch thieves too.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Hah yea, shame it couldn't catch my burglar who took my xdaIIi and plasma telly. (tho it did get blocked so I assume it got thrown.)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
AWESOME MAN!!!!

Glade you got your money back and keep pressing the issue. Dude should have to pay the consequences of his actions. Never under estimate the power of being persistence and the power of the internet.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Not sure you can do much other than what you already plan to do.

Also, I am not sure why would you risk sending your phone outside of US without the proof of delivery - $300 is $300 ... lot of money if you ask me...

Anyhow, best of luck and next time DO NOT SELL IT INTERNATIONALLY! :(
[Atrix 4G General] nalorite:
Hey,

New atrix user here. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the phone, but I have one big complaint: it is a nightmare to do VOIP with.

My last phone was a nexus one, with which I used a googleVoice/pbxes/sipdroid setup. Transferred the same rig to my atrix and all it does is churn out static. I then tried CSIPsimple, which was at least comprehensible, but the audio would always come out the rear speaker (with every permutation of the app's earpiece/speaker settings, no less).

The only one I tried that could actually handle the atrix was Fring using the SIP Add-on. The trouble with this though is that it seems to only be able send calls, not receive them.

Has anyone managed to get a passable VOIP setup working on the atrix? The phone is sexy, but with this failing there's no way I'm going to keep it.
[LG Optimus 2x] nafaikon:
Hey guys

I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.

I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.

Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??

thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] Mertoglu:

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..

1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.

2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.

3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!:D
[LG Optimus 2x] nafaikon:
naah i did not backup.. :-) thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..

so here is what i did.

When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher :P).

I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!

Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above... :-)

it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] maedox:
Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way. ;)

Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.

Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.
[LG Optimus 2x] nafaikon:
yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not :-P)

I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult :P

Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again :-)

start off with this page:

http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/

once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
