[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UPEngineer:
LOL, what I was thinking too, but it doesn't seem to work, unless I am doing it wrong.

If I replace the file and reboot, the original rebuilds.

If I delete the file completely and reboot, the original rebuilds.

If I replace the file using root explorer after phone has booted and then reboot, my modified file sticks.

That is what I can't figure out. Why it sticks after OS has loaded but rebuilds if the same file is placed before reboot.

And I can't figure out where the file is being rebuilt from.

Uggggg.

Can any ROM Dev's save me some time?

Just looking for the Predictive Text database, the AOSP one is empty so i thought i would cherry pick the one from the official OTA update but i am yet to locate it.

Any pointers would be helpful for me and any other novice ROM DEV (the search turned up nothing of use), thanks.

Hey there,

Broke the screen on my EVO (but it still works) and have a new one coming from Asurion today.

I had rooted my phone a while back and installed Mikfroyo.

Can anyone tell me the quickest way to make my new EVO just like my old one?:confused:

I purchased the pro version of Titanium Backup and installed on my old phone. Do I use this or NAND to make a full backup?

Do I have to root my phone, then install Mikfroyo and then restore from backup? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks for any help here! :D
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Use titanium. It isn't a good idea to use a backup from one phone on another. (Recovery backup) just have titanium backup your apps and you should be good. If you don't have tour contacts on your gmail you'll want to back up those too.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah especially because you don't want to accidentally copy over your old phone's RSA keys as they will be disabled when they get the phone.
[EVO 4G General] markinsf:
Thanks guys! So, just to confirm, I do, in fact, have to root my phone and then install MikFroyo again, then restore my apps via Titanium?

Can I restore my email configs, wallpaper, and all that stuff?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
If your staying with the same rom version sure. I wouldn't otherwise as it could cause problems. Yeah you will have to do all of it again.
[EVO 4G General] markinsf:
Mmmm... ok.. well looks like I will just build a new phone then. I don't really have that many apps. Was more wanting to save my email configs and other misc things.

I rooted my first phone many months ago and sort of forgot which method I used to root.

Can anyone kindly point me to the recommended way to root these days? I would be very grateful for a link. Thank you. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] webxs:
Yes, I did wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Which firmware did you flash? Did you use a PIT?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] webxs:
Firmware T959V_UVKC1_full. PIT used Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Don't use that PIT file. It doesn't work.

Try this one that I'll attach.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] webxs:
Ok, now try with your file. Firmware can the old one, but on the other firmware does not work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Ok well just try it and let me know if it works. If it doesn't I'll let you try something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] webxs:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] webxs:
Yes, rebooting :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
Having never used Odin myself those file names look very wrong...

Unless there is something else going on here, you are flashing the wrong files on to the phone.

You probabbly need to flash the actuall ".tar" file not the ".tar.md5"...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] webxs:
What do you advise me to do? :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
where did you get this firmware T959V_UVKC1?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
is it possible to get a link from you?? this is the firmware krylon360 is waiting for.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:

exit heimdall, you'll see a drivers dir, open it, run the program in it. (make sure you are in download mode) click options and choose list all devices

click the dropdown and choose Generic USB or something like that and click install driver.

hit the red button to accept when it pops up. wait for it to complete, then run heimdall

[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
Ok guys, I have been an Android fan since I got my first OG Droid back in Dec '09. I really wanted this Thunderbolt since it was announced. First thing I did when I got it was test the 4G speed. Friggin unbelievable.

What else is unbelievable is the damn battery drain. I honestly cant stand it. My OG Droid was not this bad. It was bad, yes, but not like this. I am charging probably 2 times a day, with not that much use.

I downloaded the app to turn off 4G, but what good is that? I got the phone because of the 4G!!!! I turn off widgets. i turn off auto-sync. I did the whole battery charge thing, i.e. turn off after full charge, take battery out, etc.....

Then when charing the battery it takes like 4-5 times longer to charge the damn thing. what is up with that? my OG Droid took way less then half the time to get a full charge?

get this, the other night, right before bed I had a 1/2 charge on my battery. at home i leave wifi on because it was said that it is less of a battery drain then the 4g. well, when i woke up by phone wouldnt turn on at all. it was completely dead. the weird thing is, this isnt all the time. the battery has a life of its own!!!!!

now you will tell me to root it and try a rom with a custom kernel. anyone who roots knows that once you do it you are constantly looking for the perfect rom. and guess what, you will never find it. with my OG Droid i probably had a new rom every 2 weeks or so. i really dont want to keep doing that over and over.

so if anyone can convince me otherwise, give a good reason to not switch I am 99% sure that I am going to iphone 4.
[Thunderbolt General] AisforAustin:
Cool story bro. Enjoy your iPhone.
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
i guess i'm just frustrated, if you couldnet tell.

do you no have issues with your bolt

AisforAustin?
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
For me, it's all about if you want' Apple to control your technology needs and provide to you what THEY deem necessary and be part of the mindless clan (watch the movie Metropolis, the Giorgio Moroder 1984 version). Then iphone will do for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy taking on technology and thinking for youself, and yes, finding delight in changing your ROM every 2 weeks, and learning from others, and learning from your mistakes, then DROID is for you :)
[Thunderbolt General] madzozs:
I have been happy with my bolt. I came from the Droid X which had very good battery life for me. At first I was a bit iffy about my bolts life, but since I dont have 4G yet I turned off the radio and that helped. Now I am undervolted, bloat free, and monitoring all the **** that is running in the background. Battery lasts me a lot longer than I thought. When 4G comes to my area this year, I will lost a bit of that life, but I'm fine with that. You have to remember, these aren't just phones anymore. They are computers basically. You aren't going to get the same life on any of these smartphones as you would on a RAZR.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
No offense but last time I checked you decided to jump ship on your own and go with a device that uses a new technology which I'm going to assume you were smart enough to know there would be some kinks and bugs to iron out...

You can't possibly expect 4G to be perfect and better on battery life from the get go, not to mention I turn my 4G off when I'm not using it and I can get a day and a half out of my phone no problem. Secondly why do you need 4G on when you're not even using it? How hard is it to flip the switch off when you're updating your twitter or facebook timeline? Do you really need 4G for a two second process on 3G? If you're surfing the internet fine, streaming video fine, but why is it necessary on simple quick tasks or during standby or sleep?

I'm just saying your expectations were probably too high of a premature technology from the get go, also you're utilizing something you don't need all of the time.
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
trust me i have been a loyal android fan but this experience is just killin me. i understand that this phone does more but come on, they really have to do something about the battery.

as for custom roms, i am good for it but as i said they all have ups and downs and i just dont want to keep messing with them once i find a major flaw, something of which all the custom roms have.

its not that i want to go and have apple dictate what i can and cant do with my phone. but you have to admit that google / manufacturers are letting all these developers do their work for them. they put out a 1/2 ass piece of work knowing that some developer on xda will come out with a root and a rom to fix their screw up.

i dont know, like i said, i'm just frustrated......
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
ANDROID is for you. It's not called the DROID OS, it's Android. I'd prefer not to have people start calling every android device a DROID like they call all MP3 players iPods even if they are not ;)
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I personally came from apple and would NEVER go back. Everything is so locked down. 1 app store with what apple wants in it. A new phone every year (which basically just matches what android has released years ago). I mean but yea battery go with iPhone since being locked down gives you better battery life.

Oh and personally with major usage my phone lasts at least 10 hours. Which I'm pretty sure is close to the iPhone.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
Ever heard of Cyanogenmod?
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
in my opinion, this release of 4g from verizon and htc, is not the best that they could have done. most likely they held releasing the bolt because of the battery issue then got some backlash for constantly pushing it out. guess what, there is still a problem.

i just dont understand why i would need to constantly switch back and forth between 4g and 3g, just seems dumb to me. its like having high speed internet at home and switching between my fios and dialup based on what i need at the time. duh. this may be the fix for now, but come on.

plus, my battery issues have been with 4g off, auto-sync off, no widgets. and still have a drain.
[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
I would atleast wait for the first update to see if they fix or improve upon some of these issues.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
So let me get this straight, you hate the idea of using 3g on the TB, but like the idea of switching to a 3g phone?

-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
[Thunderbolt General] RayKinStL:
First of all, I love my Thunderbolt and do not have battery issues. The only time the battery drains is when I use it what I would deem excessively throughout the day. Maybe you have a bad battery? I am not sure, but my phone gets me through a day, and even if it starts to run short, I can plug it in in my car on the way home, which is no inconvenience to me, and it has MORE than enough juice for the rest of the night. Something is definitely eating up your battery though, because the other night I went out drinking and came home drunk with only about 20% left on my battery from the days use. I was too buzzed to bother plugging in the phone, so it was the first time I went to bed with the phone unplugged. I woke up 12 hours later to around 10% battery life.

Also, if you want to go iPhone, then have fun. I gave up a long time ago trying to convince people one is better than the other. It is a pointless argument. I will tell you this though. I have some friends who have iPhone 4s through their job. This was where I first saw the iPhone 4 in the public. To begin with the screen is TINY! People can rave all they want about the retina display, but the small screen does not make it worth the higher resolution in my opinion. Also, if you think owning an iPhone is going to keep you from cord diving to charge your phone, think again. All those guys I know are constantly plugging their phone in throughout the day to get a little bit of a charge here and there so they make it through the day.

This is all just my opinions/experience though, and you have fun doing whatever you are going to do.
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
Yes, do they have a stable release for the Bolt now? If so I would love to try it out. Anyone have results on battery life with their latest release?
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
I'll tell you what guy, no one here really cares for your incessant whining, or your more than obvious trolling. We have better things to do with our days than listen to you whine and complain about a decision you made because you were too incompetent to wait and see reviews, or wait for the technology to mature.

Go to a Verizon store return your Thunderbolt get an iPhone 4 (Which is 9 months old) instead and then go whine in their forums about how you miss your 4.3inch touchscreen, your 4G speeds, your true multi-tasking, and custom roms.

Not to mention you can piss and moan with them when the iPhone 5 comes out with it's dual core processor and 4inch touchscreen.

If a mod could close down this troll thread that would be fantastic. On that note I bid you good day sir.
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
there does seem to be an issue with the stock ROM using 34mA of idle current from the 7 days of data i gathered on 2 stock units. where as other android phones pull 5mA of idle current. so i'm guessing that the thunderbolt delay in being released had something to do with this, and its STILL not quite on par with other android phones.

the option is to not use the stock TB rom, instead try cm7 or an aosp based ROM and see if the current draw returns to normal.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
They just got 3G/4G working today however you aren't patient enough and don't care about freedom of your device so go grab an iPhone instead like I just stated.
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
holy crap, DigitalDementia, did someone piss in your cheerios this morning?

I was going to say that you guys are turning me around, but you had nothing to do with it. My God, I feel sorry for you!

I will give CM7 a try tonight and see how it goes. If I am still having issues I'll get Verizon to give me a new battery as that could be it. I really didnt like the idea of going but am just getting tired of charging this thing so much.

I'll let you guys know how it goes and Digital, please take a chill pill. Dont want you to go postal or anything just because I was thinking of switching.
[Thunderbolt General] mr.pope:
Is your charger working correctly? Try a different one. I had similar problems with another device draining while plugged in. It was a faulty charger. As for the battery life during the day, I have only had problems once with my TB.
[Thunderbolt General] corenojoe:
There is no release of CM7 yet, however I have great battery life on my Tbolt, I'd consider returning it and getting a replacement, you may have gotten a bad battery.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
The whole first page is you turning around and whining and blah blah blah poor me, it couldn't possibly be a faulty charger it's this crappy phone, I always need 4G on what's the point of a 4G phone if I can't use 4G every second.

You were quite obviously trolling, so I spoke my thoughts on your complaints. Was I wrong in anything I said? Did you not jump into a new technology with higher hopes then you should have? Didn't you say you shouldn't have to shut 4G off because what's the point? However even though you don't feel you should shut 4G off you want to switch to a 3G phone? Kind of contradictory isn't it?

No one pissed in my cheerios, I actually had cocoa crispy's this morning and they were f*cking delicious. I'm just saying you expect too much from something so mature, not to mention a lot of your issues don't seem like it's your phone but charger or battery.

I'm not mad, I could really care less however you make complaints yet refuse to make a compromise. Then you go and trash on custom ROMs saying they all have major flaws which is complete and utter BS. Any rom I ran on my OG Droid was pretty much flawless, miniscule bugs if anything. Devs work hard to bring out the best in a phone and you call their work ****... kind of offensive on a site like this.
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
i am not going to get caught up in your obvious anger issue problems. people have posted on this thread with suggestions, not blatent hate like your last 3 posts. dont post if all you have to say is I am a troll and dont agree with you.

i agree with other posts, that most likely i have a battery issue or charger problem. i have seen many posts from people having issues like mine. all i said was that i am thinking hard of switching. i have received some good feedback.

Thank you everyone!
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
Dude, I'm just using a simple abbreviation here - ANDROID = DROID = ROIDS (just kidding on the last one). Calling all "MP3 players as iPods" is completely different and, in that case, a "proprietary eponym". ;)
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
Have you complained to Verizon? Someone on here got the extended battery free that way. In any case, you should take it in and maybe they'll replace the battery and/or charger to see what is what.

Regards,

AnalogAlzheimers
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
going at lunch!
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
LOL ROIDS nice ;) also I work in a Verizon store trust me people use the word Droid like morons in Walmart use the word iPhone. I see it every day Me: "Well this is the Thunderbolt it's made by HTC" Customer: "That ones not a droid?" Me: "Sigh" *smashes head through a window*
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
lol obvious anger. You know I like you you're a funny guy, if simply conveying ones opinion is hate then I would hate to see you out in the real world you must have a lot of "enemies" and people must always be "mad" at you when they disagree with your opinion, sounds like a sad, sad life.

However best of luck with your battery issue, after the battery swap I would recommend rooting and installing a UV kernel with not too high of an OC if you want better battery life an OC won't help with that too much.
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
Haha! then they for sure clueless. lol.
[Thunderbolt General] craighwk:
No one should have to convince you of anything. If you want an iPhone, go get one.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:

No one in this thread really did any convincing all they did was state obvious issues you could be having which you probably realized yourself unless you were so blinded by "rage" and "disdain" that the thought never crossed your mind.
[Thunderbolt General] eddyo78:
it's not that i want one, just wanted other views or experiences. never experienced this bad of a problem with a battery on a phone before. has me convinced that it is the battery and or charger now.

i just heard good things about battery life on iphone.
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
For all intents and purposes, this is the way I keep my Thunderbolt optimized! :) Can get a bit heavy but it's worth it!!!
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
If you didn't want one the title wouldn't have been "Thinking Hard of Dropping Thunderbolt for iPhone 4" rather it would have said, "What is your experience with your Thunderbolt and battery life?"

I'm not trying to argue but the way you titled this thread and all of your replies to any thoughts on the first and second pages sounded like trolling if I've ever seen trolling.
