[Intercept General] old_dude:
Yeah, this isn't the zipped rom from Virgin Mobile, this is pieced (back) together from the 2.2 update installed on an Intercept after the fact, apparently.

3:30pm PDT on 4/13 and still nothing.

I still haven't seen anybody come up with the actual 2.2 Froyo zipped rom from Virgin Mobile. Apparently everyone so far has popped a nut when they get the update and installed it directly instead of downloading it and choosing to install it later, then locating it on their phone and posting it somewhere.
[Intercept General] Kjricker:
I've got aLogcat installed. I am just waiting for the update to show up. I've seen the message that it is coming. Still waiting for it to arrive though. When it does I'll try to get the devs what they need. I don't really know what I am doing, but I'll give it a go.
[Intercept General] Kjricker:
I guess this no longer matters as the official update is now in the hands of SDX-Developers.
[Intercept General] kneel:
got mine on 4/20
[Intercept General] nc_carol:
holy sweet baby jesus this stuff is killing me! I've managed (by the grace) to get my bf's intercept rooted (not temp).. been on this for hours! I'm fairly accustomed to the process as I have an evo and been flashing nightlies for months.

I can't get a recovery on the phone via swupgrade. I put the cm01.tar in the binary folder by itself, and the thing goes through right to the last part and just sits there, doesn't transfer. heeeelp pleeeease! I'm so sick of this now. I was able to delete much of the bloat ware and now I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to try and get a better rom / kernel. Advice?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
The front speaker on my captivate has quit working. I purchased the phone from Best Buy so I assume I have to go though Samsung. Anyone have experience with Samsung's warantee procedures?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenleaf10:
It sucks. My phone was randomly shutting down and I called AT&T. After several transfers, they connected me to Samsung warranty department. They told me I had to ship my phone back to them and they will do some diagnostics on it and might fix it or might send me a different one (didn't say a brand new one). Meanwhile, I am on my own. I probably needs to take my old phone out and use it for a week or two. Because my issue is not so major, I still haven't sent mine back yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
You mean the one you listen to calls with? I've never heard of that one going out. The rear one is common and is typically easily fixed. I just returned mine a couple weeks ago without a problem. Bought it at Wally world but it's all ATT so you can go through them. We have a repair center in town that does returns on the spot. Walked in, told them it was shutting down, gave me another one. Wasn't new though, but a refurb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
Yea, the speaker you put up to your ear. The speaker is not actually broken, it is the headphone jack - it constantly reports that headphones are plugged in thus muting the front speaker. At first the problem could be temporarily fixed by blowing air into the headphone jack (would fix the problem for 5 minutes - 1 day) but that trick is no longer working. Sticking a plastic stick into the headphone jack and pushing to the left will fix the speaker but as soon as I release the pressure the speaker goes silent again.

That is great news that ATT will swap it for refurb on the spot. I don't know how I could do without my phone for a week or two if I had to ship it to samsung...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
axis01, thanks again. I went to the ATT repair center and walked out 4 minutes later with a new captivate. AWESOME. Thanks so much for that tip.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenleaf10:
Yeah, if there is a repair center near you, then you are in good shape. If not, you have to ship it to them and that would really suck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NascarFastcar:
Samsung warranty takes about a week or two for them to repair your phone. You wont get a new one.

Here is a list of ATNT service centers:

http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&solutionId=KB91429

You are better off going to them. Less hassle and they will give you a refurbishment phone or maybe even a new one...

Trust me. I complained to samsung about the gps. They filed a repair claim and sent me a label. They had my phone for almost two weeks and claimed they replaced the parts. Got the phone back and it still sucked. Went to my local device center and the kid swapped the phone out and it works fine now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornjamerican:
Contact the AT&T Warranty Exchange at 1-800-801-1101 and tell them your issue. They'll send you a refurb by mail that won't include the battery or battery cover. Once you receive the phone, you have about 10 days to return it to them or they'll charge you for it until it's returned. You send the old phone back to them in the same box they shipped it in free of charge to you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyl:
make sure you make copies of all the labels on the return box, once you sent it back you have no way of tracking it without the number on the label. I read some horror stories where people were charged by ATT for the replacement phone because they could not locate the returned one in their own warehouse (they use a 3rd party shipping company and do not share RMA information!!)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schultz_91:
Just had a quick question about the operating temperature of my atrix.

My previous phone was a captivate, which NEVER felt hot to the touch unless I ran the GPS for awhile.

It was the same for my Atrix until I ran a graphics intensive game for about an hour or so. It started to get hot while playing, so I stopped for awhile. Ever since then, it is almost always warm to the touch and is continuously operating at 50C+.

So, is this normal? What are everyone's operating temperatures?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sifon187:
Miine runs warm under higher stress. It is a dual core processor so heat will be higher then other phones
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
ive never had a phone get this hot. this is how hot my pc gets lol. is this normal?

this result was after taking quite a few pictures with camera360 i noticed the bottom of the phone VERY hot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethantarheels123:
these are about the temps that i get. it especially heats up when using data connection for web and not wifi. with wifi, it peaks at about 50c and on data connection it can go up to 57c.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
yeah, i just use wifi and thats what gets it hot. and apps like camera >_<
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Strange how people have dif experiences. My Captivate was always hot always! It only runs slightly cooler now with one of the latest CM7 nightly.

My Atrix gets warm sometimes but I never have the extreme heat other users report. I dont use and task killers, only watchdog to monitor for runaway apps. I do use a Commuter on both.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asesino:
My phone only saw the 50's when I left it charging under a pillow.When to ATT store and got it replaced.Replacement phone runs all day at 35C never seen it go past that.

And do use a commuter case aswell.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
Hmmm. My tempstature is 50°C at idle, while connected to WiFi. Is that bad?

EDIT: Well no, it goes back down to about 38° when you leave it for a while. But 50° temps are quite common.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
61° after a few games of Fruit Ninja. That seems like it shouldn't happen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
yepp even little games get mine hot. maybe it could be that we dont have software optimized for our hardware, that could effect it. who knows.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Its my understanding that the Atrix IS running a dual core optimized version of Android 2.2. Afaik our current version of Blur is NOT dual core optimized, but Im not 100% on that. Is Blur what you are referring to.? Also, apps have to be written to take advantage of both cores, so if the app wasn't specifically programmed to run on dual core it will run on just one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfFX:
I've started a thread early today because of this issue. Soon as I started playing games on my Atrix I got pretty scared with the temperature I felt on the exterior, and more scared after using temp. monitor apps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249757

The idea is to mod the phone to help dissipating heat. Besides undervolting with setcpu I guess there isnt much that can be done at software level to reduce the main chip's heat.

The ideas are still being formulated. I opened the thread so I could get some help and suggestion from other atrix owners, to have a good idea of what to do when I finally open my phone :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltdanno360:
could drill some tiny holes in the battery cover / just throwing that out there

unlocked bootloader att. atrix. honeycomb rom. faux oc kernal
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Did a bunch of looking around and after a while found some white papers with the following temperature ranges:

General operating temps of -40C to +85C.

Practical usage will start to drop off below -20C and above +70C.

This tells me that our safe operating range should be limited to the practical usage temperatures. Anything outside of these and there is a good chance you will see performance drop off fast, and also may suffer hardware lockups, etc.

Personally I will stick to +65C which is the rule of thumb I go by with my PC's under full load.

<edit> <edit> I would also add that while our phones are not desktops/laptops/workstations, the CPU's can all handle around the same temperatures in all devices. Materials used and manufacturing techniques are almost identical. The solder used has a melting point of around 180C - 190C, so there is no fear of melting the solder. The main difference is that phones do not have active cooling, so you will see much larger jumps and swings in temperature. This being the reason you cannot OC in the extreme ways you can with PC's.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
My rule of thumb is to keep my phone under 50c Max. The battey chewing alone is bad enough above 45c.

Ideally, I try to keep my phone below 40c whenever possible.

If it's a constant problem, then I usually try to find a different modem or fw. Which can make one heck of a difference... :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0g:
I was in the middle of a nandroid backup, and accidentally entered "adb shell", then exited.

But now, even after power off and reboot, when I "adb shell" I get a prompt that looks like this:

/ #

instead of the usual

ls gives:

/ # ls

data init res sdcard
default.prop init.rc root sys
dev mtdcache sbin system

"adb logcat" returns

/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found

"adb remount" gives

remount failed: Invalid argument

What is that slash?! It's scary! Is something wrong?

HELP!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
When are you running adb shell? What ROM? Details!

The / # means 1) You're in the root folder ("/") and 2) You're the root user ("#").
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0g:
There is no ROM -- I just wiped!

I've never seen the "/" before ... what would make it suddenly appear?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
you mean in recovery? that means you're in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
It's fine. Mine does that too when I'm in recovery. Flash something and move on. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
This. Yes it is an indicator of your current location within the filesystem. Think of it as a reminder when you perform file operations (say you want to delete all the files in the /crap folder but you forget to to a 'cd crap' before the rm command... yes it would be bad)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0g:
I know that in most *nix systems, the "/" means root folder ... but I've been using adb for 2 years now and I've never seen my prompt change to anything other than "#".

Even if I cd to another directory, the prompt doesn't change ... it's still "/ #". And if "/" were the current dir, I would think it would be "# /" and then change when I changed dir...

Now the "/" is gone, but when I "ls", the listing is all in a single column, rather than tabbed across the screen.

I'm just baffled why my shell would change randomly like this when I haven't done anything besides wiping ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
yea it's recovery. it always does that when i'm in recovery.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtal94:
I have the TnT Stock Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b. After launching the market, I was asked to enter my google account. Everything works fine after market fix (big thanks to rothnic and roebeet). All the google applications (market, gmail, gtalk etc.) would have automatic log-in enabled. I would prefer to be prompted for password to get into any of these applications for added security. This can be done in iOS. But I have not been able to find a way to do this here (I am an android newbie). Does anyone know how to do this?
[Nexus One General] shockaholick:
Hey all...I was wondering what people thought was the most stable/customizable rom out there? I'm currently using CM7 stable..and not to happy with it at all. I usually use MODACO's ROMS and have been very pleased....I just want something new, and fun...Any suggestions?
[Nexus One General] thatguyzx:
If you usually use Modoco, and have tried CM7, I guess only thing left to feel something "different & customizable" is the latest Miui.

Very stable and fast for me, and there are a bunch of themes. I highly recommend using Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher, as the built in launcher is what turns people away and in my experience is the source of instability. You can even cherry pick any aspect from between themes using the built in Theme Manager. Oh and on the latest version, I got 37 hours of normal use :).

It's quite different. On MIUI now because I like the animations and built in exclusives:

File Manager with awesome indexing and great FTP

Music App is nice, scrolling lyrics are a cool feature

MIUI Gallery is slow at times, but lets you easily hide and unhide media folders.

MIUI Cam is nice too, reminds me of sense camera.

Phone/Contacts/SMS app are awesome as default android is lacking.

Lockscreen is visually nice.

I dislike the default launcher and the search!!

Niether are better, CM7 or MIUI, its all part of the fun of owning a great android phone. You get bored after a few months, you switch it up!
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
If you want stable, go CM6...
[Nexus One General] tecz:
MIUI,all the time
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
MIUI is nowhere near stable or bug-free. At least on Froyo it wasn't. And I don't believe that changing to a buggier Gingerbread as a base added stability to it.

If you want fun - go for it, in the worst case - keep your nandroid at hand.

If you want stability - stay with Froyo ROMs, CM6 or Enomther's. But it won't be fun then.
[Nexus One General] thatguyzx:
Yeah, I'm one of the people that have an amazing experience with MIUI, but others aren't so lucky. so like the guy above

Miui for new, fun and customizability

CM6 or Enom for guaranteed stable.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
I've also had a great experience with MIUI. But, u'll only know by trying/flashing!
[Nexus One General] shockaholick:
Thank you to all who responded. CM7 is going okay for me. I really like the customized features. But I'm having a terrible time with the Bluetooth feature. Every time I'm on a call, either the end user can't hear me or they hear static. I tried changing my kernel to REDSTAR, but yes, it made my phone screaming fast, but still I have the BT issue.

What do you all think of KANG-0-RAMA ROM? I'll check out the more stable roms you guys mentioned. I'm not a fan of MIUI only b/c I dont like the iPhone look. But what do you all like about cm6? and I emother? Can you all please list what are the pros and cons of those two?

AGAIN THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
[Nexus One General] ch33kybutt:
Same for me wrt MIUI. Kinda think it stands for Mimic Iphone's User Interface ;p. If I wanted an IPhone, well u know the rest ...

I've been using CM7 since nightly #3 and been lucky that the wonk has generally stayed away. (I just jinxed it, didn't I .....)

What the hell is this wonk everyone is talking about?

[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
If you use ADW for MIUI or reformat/repartition sd card--wipe all several times-- and do fresh install--use VM Heap Tool and set it at 48--the new GB MIUI is very stable for me.

I use MyBackUp Pro to bu home screens etc and restore--so it didn't take long to get back up and running
[Nexus One General] jmarinco:
Take a look to this room http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061648 I have been using it for a couples of days and it is really stable, I don't know that kind of customization do you like from cm7 or modaco roms, I used too but they have too many problems.
[Nexus One General] kindiboy:
What about battery life? My screen is off and my phone doesn't sleep on CM7
[Nexus One General] FaithCry:
thats odd... sleeps for almost everyone else. might be an app that is constantly keeping your phone awake or your sync settings are really frequent. which would go hand in hand with battery life.
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
Hearing people say MIUI is stable blows my mind. I've never used a buggier rom... it's quite nice when it works though.

I find that since 2.3, there hasn't been any stable roms. I'm hoping CM 7.1 is better, as I find CM7 pretty bad.
[Nexus One General] dexz:
I'm using CM 7 ExtremeMod 16.5.2011 + a2sd. so far its very stable and battery last long. :)
[HD7 General] saketh321:
Hi,

I have had the HD7 for a few weeks now... before the nodo update i never had a problem with it but ever since then, i keep getting a lot of error messages for text messages saying the message wasn't sent. This usually happens when the signal is 1 bar or no bars (but signal is still there) and sometimes even happened with full bars.

Anyone else have this problem? I am with Bell in Canada
[HD7 General] alexrodri0:
same also with hd7 in tmo usa
[HD7 General] one_mad_punk:
same problem 02 UK

However ive found that if i go into the settings and into the carrier options and switch off 3g, everything works fine , texts are sent and received and i have no issues

this problem seems to come and go for me so im presuming its the same deal that you have - when the 3g signal is low its unable to connect correctly - and since it has a 3g signal it dosent auto downgrade to the lower speed connection - so manually disabling 3g forces it to connect at the slower speed

hope this helps a little

feel free to tell me im talking bollocks tho - this is just my experience of the problem
[HD7 General] weepatc:
No message errors here on O2 UK. I've had the HD7 since release & use messaging a lot. I don't get a 3g signal in my area, so that might be a factor.
[HD7 General] the-wrangler:
Hey mate...Bell in Toronto area here. I've been getting the same thing, rather often tiotoo A few times I think it was due to receiving a text the same time or very shortly after trying to send one..it's weird though, pretty much every time I click to resend it goes no problem. You're not alone with that issue mate lol
[HD7 General] saketh321:
phew ok awesome then... it hasnt been doing that for me ever since i started this thread lol, so i am a little happy for now... i am going to send off emails to bell and HTC and see what they say regarding this issue.

As per the 3G connection trick, as soon as i turn mine off, i lose all signal from the phone... the dialer just says "emergency only".

Thanks
[HD7 General] Blue1k:
I think it is a network issue. I'm on Telus (sharing towers with bell) and I have this problem on my HD7 and Galaxy S. Only in the last couple weeks.

I have to keep resending texts
[HD7 General] saketh321:
Oh yeah that's right... i forgot Bell and Telus dont have edge bands. Hopefully the text messaging thing can be fixed soon... its getting annoying now.
[HD7 General] Jragar:
I've been having the same problem. I used to send text messages in the loo's on my break, but now if I go there the signal is weaker and it fails alot. never used to before nodo.
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
This has been an issue for me since Day 1. My college is in a low coverage area and anytime im here, i sometimes get the error message.

I dont pay it much mind because if my phone is showing 1 bar or no bars, then it is obviously not the phone's fault(in my case) but the fact that I am just in a low coverage are and it struggles to get the message out.

This happens more so with my pic message than text message.

Sometimes people have also told me they have text me and I never received it or I'll text them and they never receive it.
[HD7 General] saketh321:
did you check with anyone else in t-mobile that goes to your college? I do remember reading where people are complaining the hd7 has a weak antenna.

But even then so, 1 bar is no excuse for a text message to not go through.
[HD7 General] stratax:
I have the same problem. my phone will have full bars one moment then the next it will be down to one and "cant send: text message error" its annoying because i will reply and then look at my phone a hour later and see why they havent replied and the message didnt even send >_<

Some other times my phone get NO signal at all for a couple minutes then randomly has full bars again, its really irritating. I live in a college town where everyone here gets good signal.. no reason for this. I dont really remember it happening when i had the February update.
[HD7 General] saketh321:
Ok so i sent HTC an email and this is the reply I got.

I understand that since performing the nodo update on your HTC HD7, you have been having issues sending text messages. I checked around with several of my coworkers and tried to find other instances of this issue occurring from other forums, but it appears to be a fairly uncommon issue. I took a look at the forum thread that you started and obtained more details such as this usually tends to happen when there is low signal. I see that some of the other posters recommended reverting to 2G in such a situation and that is not a bad idea. You can enable 2G only by going to Settings> Cellular. Additionally, the way you hold the phone can affect the signal as well. You may want to try holding around the sides so that your palm does not come in contact with the back of the phone, which can block the signal. Aside from that, you can also try a factory reset in case an issue occurred during the update and did not install properly or caused corruption in some of the files in the phone’s software. Please be sure to back up the information on your phone and the go to Settings> About Phone> Factory Reset.

[HD7 General] Drizzoh:
I'm glad I am not the only one having this issue. (T-Mo USA) Mine started acting up last night with my 3G being EXTREMELY slow loading web pages and then ultimately not being able to load anything. Then this morning I am unable to send text messages, but randomly I will receive many emails and texts (like I only have a connection for a few seconds), then when I try to reply I am unable to send. Very frustrating.
