[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8icu:
Can anyone let me know if ED01 or the official froyo rom has a fix for this wifi problem..??
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donots06:
As I'm sure you know by now, none of the froyo updates fix the wifi problem. However, I can report flashing JT's CM7 build did fix the issue and it truly is an awesome rom if you can stand a few features missing.

As of now, there seems to be no fix for froyo builds :(
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8icu:
That is nothing short of a disappointment...until there is a fix, I'll just have to keep a close eye on my data usage.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwf2:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsuo2006:
I just bought a Xoom with 3g (Verizon). I live in Canada and don't really need the 3g here at home (Wifi at home and work). However, if I travel to China or somewhere else, is is possible to unlock it so I can use the 3g network there?

Does root the dervice help? Please enlighten me ot point to to the right direction. By the way, I don't really care about the lte upgrade, so I don't worry about voiding the warranty.

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
It depends I think. From a very quick search it looks like China may have one or more CDMA networks available. That said, it depends which band they use and probably what are you are going to... I believe that like Canada, China is rather large.

If you're talking about world travel in general, you would have been better getting a European GSM version as most of the networks in the world use GSM rather than CDMA.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Actually the US Xoom 3G has a Qualcomm MDM6600 chip and if you do a search on Google then you will find that it's actually a "world mode" baseband capable of supporting both CDMA/EVDO and GSM/UMTS networks. Xoom also has a sim card slot, so i'm wondering if the European version will come with the same hardware and they will just enable the GSM/UMTS part...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Still doesn't take away from my point that the chip, whether it be GSM capable or not, isn't enabled for it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Yes, you are correct and i didn't say you aren't.

I'm just very interested in seeing if the hardware will be different or not.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TonyCubed:
Basically, the original Leo rom released by Cotulla/DFT works perfectly fine, but as soon as I try other custom roms, none of them will boot. The screen is just stuck at the green HTC logo, this is directly after the main flash of the roms as well. I can't even get to the setup screen for WP7. I've left it there waiting for ages (upto an hour now) for each rom and still the same.

Just curious if anyone else has had this problem? The HSPL, Radio, SD card etc are fine. I've done a task29 as well. I don't have Android installed either. Has me baffled that I can boot the original rom but not others.

Any help would be appreciated! :) Using MAGLDR 1.3 btw. (I've reflashed it since I used task29 earlier).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] htcfreak:
We have 1 simple solution

1. Perform task29

2. Flash any WM 6.5 ROM [Cooked ROM will do, stock ROM not necessary]

3. Flash MAGLDR 1.13

4. Flash WP7 ROM

Eureka your phone will have WP7 ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TonyCubed:
I've done that though? And as I said, the original LEO Rom from DFT works perfectly fine, it's only custom ones which do this.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] treater:
I've exactly the same problem. I did everything, wiped and flashed several times, roms...! Any custom rom stucks in boot.

Did you solve the problem?

Anybody an idea what I can do?

thx
[Desire HD General] AmphybiouS:
Hey guys, i'm in trouble...

I want to change my rom at newest version of Revolution HD and it's recommended to do a full wipe.

But i don't want to loose all my data! So, i think to do a backup...

Someone suggested me to try Titanium Backup, i'be make the backup of my apps and system (200 elements) but when i restored it seems incomplete of some apps... I've see that the icons in the various home screen aren't like i backupped in.

And the backup function the the 'privacy' menù? it's complete? it's the best?

thanks!!

and sorry for my poor english :(
[Desire HD General] I'm TheQuest:
Hi AmphybiouS

I you install a different Rom the Titanium Backup of

Apps and System Data

it cannot restore the System Data that does not belong on the new Rom.

What you need to have done if moving to a different Rom is to

Backup all user apps

and which can be install to any new Rom.

Take Care

TheQuest :cool:
[Desire HD General] AmphybiouS:
Thanks for your answer.

The backup in Google function is complete? It will restore all my apps and system settings... i think so...

thanks.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtual Pariah:
Probably the wrong forum for this, but I think the G-Tab will be my 1st and only android device.

From day 1 till now I have had a bad taste in my mouth between Viewsonic's dropping the ball, Google's Honeycomb decisions, and finally Nvidia's dropping the platform not even 1 year in. This is a mess.

Thanks to XDA as they have been the only group in this mess who actually cared about the end users, and they were unpaid enthusiasts. That's a huge strike against android as a viable platform.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
What's the difference as long as the need is being taken care of?

For many this platform and tab have been taken from a mere consumption device to a learning tool. Who else, is offering such opportunity to better learn a mobile platform in and out?

Sometime we look right past the obvious. I would much more so want to learn than sit and play games or consume. To each his own.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
Wow! Out of all the companies, nvidia was the last company I thought would do this. Reputation of driver support is just about the most important thing a chip company can have.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtual Pariah:
I see where you are going, but, without official support most of the enthusiast devs will migrate to another platform.

To me, the loss of the manufacturer's input would be the death knell for the device.

Most people who have paid for this tablet did so for the media consumption capabilities. At least in the general population.

I'm a tad confused that anyone would be considering withdrawal of official support a good thing...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thevaristy:
Just saw an update from a nvidia rep...

UPDATE 12 APRIL 2011:

Sorry folks looks like I caused a bit of confusion. Since this is a developer forum my comments were targeted at Tegra Honeycomb developers and for this we’d like to focus on Ventana. For shipping or production products, customers should contact the device makers directly for OS support plans. They are responsible for the OS shipping on their device.

In relation to our linux kernel git repository, NVIDIA will continue to provide full open-source support for all of our kernel components and will push more of that upstream over time.

Let us all hope Nvida will change there minds after a bunch of emails to support harmony on gingerbread and honeycomb
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asankasl:
A good news from Nvidia ???

The newest update from Nvidia looks good (see below).

They will support the gtablet as long as viewsonic supports it. Nvidia is listening.

Now we have to keep the pressure on viewsonic for the support.

UPDATE 13 APRIL 2011

A lot has been read into a very short post about a Tegra development kit. I'd like to clear up a few points.

First, nothing changes in what we’re delivering to the open source community or customers. NVIDIA will continue to post the Tegra kernel to kernel.org and publish our Android code to our public git servers. Additionally, we will continue to make our BSP (codecs, GPU driver etc) available to all our hardware partners. We will continue to do this and nothing about these processes has changed.

For our partners' Android devices, NVIDIA provides support until the hardware partner chooses to no longer support the device. So, for instance, NVIDIA will support the Xoom on all versions of Android Motorola requests until Motorola ceases to support the Xoom. The same goes for ViewSonic with the G-Tablet, Notion Ink with the Adam, Acer with the Iconia, LG with the Optimus 2X and so on.

In relation to my original reply, that was a response to a specific question about a Tegra 250 Development Kit. Given the confusion, we will work with owners of Tegra 250 Development Kits individually to determine their needs. The term "Harmony" is an internal codename for the Tegra 250 Development Kit. It is not a tablet reference design. Each shipping tablet is a custom design with varying hardware components and requires a custom OS image from the OEM who made the tablet.

Finally, while we cannot support or give out third party peripheral drivers or provide the Android 3.0 source before Google does, we do want to explore whether we can assist the open source ROM makers. We will be reaching out to them today.

So after updating to freex10 2.2 froyo beta from eclair 2.1 I have lost my gps function. I'm wondering if this is a usual occurrence, and if it will be fixed anytime soon, or if there is a hot fix for it. I really don't want to dowgrade back to 2.1 as I am very much enjoying flash. But I do miss gps. Please help.
[EVO 4G General] Blipstein:
Can I do this with an app? I suppose a reboot will be helpful...or is not needed on the EVO? I am used to having to reboot my Palm Pre to have it function at it's best.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I haven't came across one yet. I usually reboot my phone about every 2 days, and my cache is cleaned every 24 hours.

~ d3rk
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah, it's not really a requirement like it was with WebOS but it's best to do just in case.
[EVO 4G General] mdizzle9:
The only thing I've seen that can do that is to use a schedule in Titanium Backup. Potentially you could have it run a backup each night and then set the option to reboot after it is done. Probably not necessary or even beneficial...but is possible.
[EVO 4G General] quocamole:
check out llama in the market.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
I'm pretty sure you can do this with Tasker.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:

[EVO 4G General] quocamole:

[EVO 4G General] wrb123:
try the power button app.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Yeah I was gonna say, theres a free app called the power button and you press it and press it once more, if you have the four in one with your rom, you touch reboot hot restart and it takes 15 seconds...this is as bad as people who want cars that parallel park for them, how lazy can we get, no flame just saying
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
yes.. others have given you options to auto-boot.

but no.. it is not needed every day or even weekly.

it is not like your past OS.

i do reboot .. because I change out batteries.. when the need arises... or when I flash new ROMs. :)
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Want a daily reboot, Just Install CM7.

oh god that was a terrible joke.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
I use the quick boot app for rebooting or rebooting into recovery. The less I have to press the power button, the better. With all the flashing in recovery, I'm sure the power button gets used more than it was designed to. I don't need it to fail on me or wear out any sooner than it normally would. :) I also worry about the volume down button failing or sticking, haha.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Lol cm7 hahahah
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Hows about you read what the guy says before you accuse him of being lazy?

Webos had a need for being restarted on a daily basis and if you ever had the displeasure of using it you would know that a restart can take up to five minutes.

Therefore some developer made an app that you can schedule to restart at some time, say during the night, so that it would get the restart its needs without you having to wait through it.

Just because the guy doesn't know something and is asking doesn't mean you need to attack him
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
lol......those are usually the best ones. I give it an A+, sir.
[EVO 4G General] flying_low:
Another option if your phone is laggy (and rooted) is to increase the heap size. Check out VM Heap Tool in the market.
[EVO 4G General] Blipstein:
You pretty much nailed it on the head. I love WebOs but it really does need a daily restart to run at its full potential. The reboot time was ridiculous. Setting it to restart while I was sleeping was perfect!

Thanks guys. I'll try a few of these out.
[EVO 4G General] Shigster:
I've been looking for that power button app in the market but can't find it. Is it Sense only?

Were you on Gingerbread? Cause only... ONLY way to go back to Froyo is to SBF. Anything else will cause problems, and still require an SBF to be used. Not an SBF zip, actually using RSDLite to flash the phone. Which is where you're at now.. must do a full flash.

I don't tether so that's not an issue but idk about all this verizon tracking root user stuff and all. Overall I just am not sure if I'm better off with what I've got or 2.3.3

[Droid X General] genericmessage:
Ya'll know that to obtain the update.zip file, someone had to get a OTA update of it first right?

To update manually and use the OTA update are the EXACT SAME THING.

This isn't some custom rom or anything. This is the actual update.

Why Verizon is supposedly denying it is beyond me. They have done stranger things.

So yes, use the update.zip freely. Its 100% safe and won't hurt your phone. Is the real 2.3.3 update.

And doing so gives you a host of new features!

Some of them are:

The ability to make "profiles." Now you can have multiple home screen set ups and switch between them on the fly.

Free 3G hotspot (for the time being)

New window and scrolling animations

Dock icons (that are changeable)

New launcher

New friends feed

New color scheme with a transparent notification pull-down menu.

New Nexus LWP

Madden NFL 11 HD

The ability to add your linked-in account.

New voice command icon

New ways to uninstall apps from the launcer

New task manager.

The boot screen with the Moto symbol is now red.

Plus its insanely faster!
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Who's to say they won't change some of these features? Who's to say they won't make another modification? Some of us don't like flashing more than every couple of months. I'm one of those people. I don't want to flash then have to SBF back to get the "real" OTA.

The ability to make "profiles." Now you can have multiple home screen set ups and switch between them on the fly.

So?

Free 3G hotspot (for the time being)

Wireless Tether for Root Users

New window and scrolling animations

:eek:OMFG I'M SOLD... oh wait...

Dock icons (that are changeable)

Launcher Pro

New launcher

Launcher Pro

New friends feed

So?

New color scheme with a transparent notification pull-down menu.

I've had this for a LONG time.

New Nexus LWP

??

Madden NFL 11 HD

Meh

The ability to add your linked-in account.

Meh

New voice command icon

A NEW ICON??

OH

MY

GOD...

New ways to uninstall apps from the launcer

Launcher Pro

New task manager.

Meh, Advanced Task Killer is fine.

The boot screen with the Moto symbol is now red.

[Droid X General] genericmessage:
When did this become a petty schoolyard argument?

If they release an update to it, then you'll get the update.

If you don't want it, fine! Don't install it! I am not forcing you to.

I just was putting out the facts.
[Droid X General] shukero:
Ok, Guys the first answer to a question:

Q: WHY WONT VERIZON say that they are pushing out an update?

A: That's because if you've read any other news about that new "update" it actually has a new bootloader, that basically makes roots up to now not work anymore (at least trill another exploit is found) SO if you do update, they get a small smile in that you will NOW be tracked, AND ROMS are in available.

2) This is not an OTA update! if you have to dl it from a site don't call it an OTA... because OTA means "Over The Air" (-.-)/

3) Those who are saying "free 3g hotspot" are full of crap... Verizon makes people pay 29.99 a month for a specific amount of 3g hotspotting so do you REALLY think they would give up that cash cow? If it's working right now, I'd make sure you check your next bill cause it'll be on there without a rooted ROM lol.
[Droid X General] Phoible:
In all fairness, it's $19.99 a month, and you get an extra 2GB of data with that (unlike AT&T, which charges you just to use your existing data with tethering). Overall, not a bad price, especially if you compare it to what they charge for tethering plans. If you want to stream video, 2GB probably won't be sufficient, but if you are just using it for web surfing/productivity, that should be plenty...
[Droid X General] byproxy:
this "official" update is same as previously leaked version no? no need to update again for those of us already running the leak?
[Droid X General] judasmachine:
I'm already back on Liberty 1.5. I like it here, it's still faster than BlurGB.

I did give it a go, and the new launcher is kind of nice, and a lot better than the last Blur launcher, but again I like Liberty, a lot.
[Droid X General] spacecasespiff:
I still don't think its an afficial update. Only a few have gotten it. There will be some kind of anounsment from Verizon or motto if it was. I think its more of a test to see if there are issues. I have not read about anyone today getting the update. They told you about the 2.2.1 update that came out awhile ago so they will with this one.
[Droid X General] raziel36:
Can it be installed from the stock recovery menu? If so, it's official, period. Possibly an accidental leak, but "official" nonetheless.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
I know I came across like a pompous ass, but what do you expect when you tell us about "new" features we've been enjoying for at least the last 6 or 7 months?

Stuff like "new icon!" isn't really a new feature.

I apologize for being rude, but seriously, know your audience.
