[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejonez:
So, right off the bat, I would like you all to know that I'm extremely new to Android and the entire rooting/flashing/etc. practice. Coming from jailbreaking iPhones since the 3G, this is an entirely new concept to me.

The question I have is with regards to AOSP contacts in the Tesla Coil ROM (1.2). I have the ROM flashed and working properly, and I have the AOSP contacts .zip that kejar31 posted on his Twitter, but I'm not sure how to install this. Do I just click the .apk? I'm timid about doing anything without being sure for fear of effing something up :P

Thanks in advance!

Find the SLWM and you can install it from your desktop.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejonez:
Thanks for your help, I definitely hadn't seen anything about the SWM. One question about this method: the .apk file is located in the System-->Apps folder of the unzipped folder; there is also a META-INF file located in the unzipped folder; does this matter? I mean, this isn't a run-of-the-mill .apk, it's the contacts application for a ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234567188:
Oh, then my guess is its a flashable zip, just put the whole zip on the SDcard reboot to recovery select flash zip from sdcard and flash, and as always backup before you do this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejonez:
Ok, yeah...this sounds right to me. I'd read about flashing apps, but wasn't sure how that was done. Sorry for being a noob :P I'll learn quickly.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0Xy:
So I was just texting last night and suddenly, my messaging app Force Closed. After that, it would just crash every time I would run it or receive a text. I assumed my sms database was corrupted, and with a bit of googling, I found where it was:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

Now at this point, the first thing I tried to do is to rename it (forcing Messaging to create a fresh new one) and just as expected, it fixed the issue, but all my SMS were gone. Now that I knew that this was the issue, I tried copying it over to my sdcard so I could take a look at it, but while copying, it would just throw a "cp: read error: I/O error" and it would stop.

The partly copied file was exactly 512000bytes, if that has any significance whatsoever. I tried to tar or adb pull it but it always give me some IO error.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix it? is it the sdcard that is corrupted?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[G Tablet Accessories] johnhrschuster:
Purchased a Targus Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad (yea I know it said iPad) Model AKB32US from OfficeDepot today. Probably taking it back tomorrow but it is such a nice looking and sized Bluetooth keyboard.

Attempted to sync it with Viewsonic Gtab (TNT ROM) and Archos 101 (Stock Rom) with no luck. I know I need a APK to go along with the keyboard but I needed to try anyway.

Did some searching but the Google-Foo was weak today. Left a message at Targus.com but don't really expect an answer. Tried the Android Bluetooth Driver from the My Gear area on all settings as well.

Anyone had any success stories on Bluetooth keyboards and Gtab?
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
There are several threads that discuss bluetooth keyboards and different ROMs on the gTab.

Do a search in the Market for an app called Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect. It seems to have the most success of making connections for keyboards to the gTab.
[G Tablet Accessories] gojeda:
Anyone else find it a bit ridiculous that you need an apk helper program to get almost any bluetooth device working with the gtab?
[G Tablet Accessories] jfs999:
I've had some success with this keyboard/gTab combination. I was running into problems with entering the passphrase. My gTab kept asking me to enter the passphrase. It suggested 000 or 1234 and neither appeared to work. I was able to connect the keyboard to my Galaxy S and it seemed to work fine. When connecting that one though it prompted me on my phone to type a passphrase on the keyboard rather than the phone. Since it (the passphrase) was different everytime I assume it was randomly generated on my phone and sent to the keyboard for authentication. On my gTab it wasn't like that. It prompted me for the passphrase on my tablet and didn't connect. I read on another forum that someone was able to connect by typing the 0000 on their gTab then typing 0000 on the keyboard. It connected for me. Good, now I don't have to return it.

Since I'm not sure which, if any, did it for me. Here's the things I loaded to try and get it to work:

1. First tried to to a straight connect. No luck.

2. Loaded Bluetooth Keyboard Easy connect. (In market). No luck.

3. Loaded Blueinput. (In market also). No luck.

4. Tried the 0000 input on gTab then again directly afterwards on the keyboard. Voila! Success!

5. Uninstalled Blueinput. Rebooted, still working.

6. Uninstalled Bluetooth Keyboard Easy connect. Rebooted, still working.

I am running the VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony ROM. (which is absolutley fantastic by the way...)

Much luck to you all.

Got mine to work with HTC Evo

Got my keyboard to work yesterday using instructions below, on an Evo running 2.3.3

1.) Put batteries in Keyboard

2.) Put Android Device in bluetooth search

3.) Turn Keybaord on and Press "Connect"

4.) Once the keyboard shows up on Android Device, enter the paskey "0000"

5.) Press connect on your android device, then immediately type "0000" on the keyboard and press the enter key.

That's what worked for me.....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddral:
I'm in the UK (London) and have tried several firmwares, none of them gave any acceptable result for the matter that the phone doesn't lock on any single satellite.

I've sent the phone on a warranty repair (O2) saying that it doesn't lock on any satellite. Just got it back today and here's what they said:

"one of our engineers has found the problem and fixed it. For quality control, another one of our engineers checked the repair."

Guess what, nothing happened it still doesn't work. I hope you can come up with some solution - even if it involves hardware fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Ask them what problem was found, was it related to software or hardware?

Its mostly the settings which might need tweaking as per your location. I have noticed that 1st time gps locking takes time & you should have working data connection to assist its locking & after that the phone maintains a cache of your locations.

GPS dont work indoors so go out in open park 50mt away from the nearest buildings & switch on the gps & see if it locks or not. Indoor the phone uses cell tower to determinate your location but gps wont lock your location due to missing signals.

These are my settings.

menu>settings>Location & security>

check all with green check mark.

use wireless network

use gps satellites

use sensor aiding

Might help to lock, try these & report back.

I've tried several firmwares with different modems, all of them gave the above result outdoors, still after 10-15 mins waiting. The settings are the best touted around the web, also tried FasterFix... no luck.

I really suspect a HW failure or something with the antenna. The SNR value starts off at around 30-35 when the device senses the satellites, then slowly goes down to 14-18.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dizM0nkey:
My wifi is spotty, at best. I've tried every ROM but every ROM has the same issues: wifi will work for awhile, then it won't, then I power the phone off, then it doesn't work after I power it back on, then I disable it and re-enable it, and it may/may not work. Basically, it's totally unreliable.

I AM running a 2.4 mouse/keyboard combo, but I've tried different channels on my router: 1,6,11 ... they all have issues. My router is a D-LINK 615 and supports 801.11b-n.

I have an iPhone and it is rock solid on the wifi; plays nicely with the keyboard and mouse and doesn't miss a beat. But I REALLY want my HD2 to work: it's more baddass!

Can anyone help me out? :eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danxtian:
by not working, could you be more detailed? coz if the problem is about wifi went to sleep state after you lock the phone, then there's a settings for that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dizM0nkey:
Where's the setting?... I must have missed it! I can restart the phone and get the wifi symbol, but the reception bars aren't fully lit... only the very lowest (I'm on a sense build now).

I go into wifi settings and it says 'connected' ... but I try to load the browser, or marketplace, or Amazon AppStore ... and I'm not connected. I disable wifi then I renable it and my wifi bar is full! And the wifi works for, maybe, 30-45 seconds before it doesn't work again.

Really, really odd. And this is how it behaves on all ROMs I've tried.

*EDIT* I just saw that my wifi sleep policy is set to 'never' go to sleep.

I just turned on "best wi-fi performance" but I have my doubts that it will work... and my battery is going to suffer, big time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] linj:
I suffer from similar symptoms.

Wifi will show as being connected (but sometimes the signal meter is obviously off), but things like the browser won't load. It'd be nice if wifi just dropped entirely (and then push notifications would work again), but it doesn't. It just doesn't work; it shows as being connected, but I can't load things.

If I disable/re-enable wifi, it works again.

I think most of the time (for me) the trouble is the result of going between different APs or coming back to an AP, but still sometimes problems occur even when I'm sitting still at a single place (I'm connected to a campus network, but I've had this problem happen on a 1-router network before too).

I've found that, overall, the g.lewarne kernel works really well after a few reboots (wifi sometimes still gets "stuck," but not as often...), at least better than Raf 1.9. But... problems still exist.

Hope you find a solution here! There have been several threads with this already...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dizM0nkey:
WPA vs WPA2

Make sure you set ONLY WPA and TKIP in your router settings... I have much more reliable wifi because of this.

Also, choose specific wifi channel ... channel 6 works for me, and I've seen channels 1 and 11 as recommended channels as well.

Mixed WPA/WPA2 and TKIP/AES modes were horrible for wifi

FYI!

My ROMs are working relatively well now... much better than mixed modes (no wifi working)
