[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
So, my phone has been running fine for weeks (it was at I think like 600+ hours uptime before I had to reboot it for the first time two days ago). I'm running Apex 1.4.1, with no custom modifications. I was using it one day, then a little later it just started freezing for several seconds anytime I tried to do anything, then unfreezing for a couple seconds, then freezing, etc. I rebooted it, then it was fine for a little while. Then I was texting someone back and forth for an hour or so, and all of a sudden it stopped sending my messages. I rebooted, and it was able to send again. Now today apparently she isn't getting them again, because she asked the same question I already replied to, over an hour later (I mean, she could have just not seen the reply, but with the other recent problems I'm not betting on it...).

Has anyone seen issues like this? Also, come to think of it, Yahoo Mail has been acting just retarded...it keeps disabling status bar notifications on its own (twice so far), but regardless, when it IS notified, it's not letting me know when I get new emails, I have to go in and look. My batteries been dying a LOT faster, and my data usage has been steadily climbing over the last couple days (I haven't downloaded anything, and my normal usage recently has only been very basic) and I have a feeling Yahoo Mail has been constantly trying to connect but failing, except for when I manually go into it? But that's just a guess.

This is all just bugging me, so any suggestions would be helpful. I can just backup my needed apps, wipe and re-flash Apex, but if anyone has any other suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Well I think you went wrong when you didn't shut it off for over 600 hours. Did you really need it to be on at that time? Even at night?

But anyway that's just my rant. Reflashing apex would be a good place to start. And make sure you just wipe everything. If that doesn't work, you may want to go completely back to stock and then back to apex
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
So you're saying this OS is not as stable as Windows? Because I've had Windows OS's stay running for months without issue. Gee, if Android isn't is good as Windows, maybe I should look into getting a WP7 phone... /sarcasm

If there aren't issues, then there's no reason to turn off your phone. Shutting it down at night is good if you don't want to charge it, but it really shouldn't be a requirement unless if Android isn't ready for prime-time (and no, I'm not saying that's the case). I had an issue, I rebooted, I had another issue, I rebooted, I had ANOTHER issue, rebooted, and so far it's been good since yesterday afternoon.

I really think it was the Yahoo Mail app though I don't know why it would have prevented sending text messages... I did a force stop, cleared it's data, removed it, rebooted, and then reinstalled the app. So far, it's been working OK from what I can tell. The data usage has slowed, battery life seems to be good again, and I'm getting notified of new Yahoo emails.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Actually I am not at all concerned with the software. I was talking about the hardware. Would you leave your computer running for 600+ hours?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Like I said, I have. My file server (Windows Server 2003) has been running (except for a few brief shutdowns for hardware upgrades/swaps) for over 2 years. My main PC (Windows 7) has been running, for the most part, except for a few times when I just felt like shutting it down, for probably the last 6 months.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Ok well if it works for you, then great keep doing it. But I'm just saying, as a computer guy, that is just a general bad idea
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Nice to know, but I'm also a "computer guy" (professionally) and as a rule of thumb I keep my office computer on 24/7/365, as well as my home computers.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Since you are a computer guy, could you please explain how there aren't any adverse effects on your hardware from keeping it running? Primarily on the cpu and fans? No chance you could burn something out?
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Why would you shut it off? I don't think leaving it on all the time is the issue. why shut your cell phone off? I think that's stupid. Then again I'm a midnighter so I guess things are different for me. I never shut off my cell phone or PC.
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
It's designed to run like that. I'm a big PC guy as well. I do a few custom builds here and there. Seriously turning it off and on all the time it going to cause more damage (especially to your HDD) then keeping it on all the time. It's like a car being in stop and go traffic versus highway mileage. I think the last time I shut my PC off was around Christmas cause I had to reformat and couldn't get it done before I went to work so since my network wasn't up yet no reason to keep it on.
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Computers aren't like cars..."gunk" and "sludge" (and yes, I'm getting these highly technical terms from TV because I know crap about cars) don't build up in computers. Pieces wear out, sure. But that can happen just as easily from frequent turning on and off. Like I said, my two computers at home stay on almost constantly, and I don't exactly dust or vacuum frequently. The last thing I had to replace was in my gaming PC, and that was the video card since it was two years old and couldn't play Crysis 2 well enough.
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
I don't know much about cars either. Maybe I wasn't using the correct tone, but I actually agree with you. Like I had said in my post I keep my machines running 24/7 usually same with cell phone. I don't know crap about cars either the only reason I used the comparison is that wear and tear from city driving or stop and go traffic (when compared to turning your pc on and off frequently) is worse than freeway or long distance without stop driving (as referring to keeping your PC on) So yea we are pretty much saying the same thing :-)
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Hey thank you for explaining it to me this way. I never thought of it like that. You are probably right. Excuse me for just one more question though: would keeping it on all the time actually end up using more power than you would if you kept it off?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Well...yeah, obviously. But if someone tries to call me in the middle of the night for an emergency, and I don't get the call because my phone was off, well, that would suck. But with Apex, I've went to sleep on, for instance, 80% battery, woke up, and the battery still said 80%. As for my computers, well, yeah, that costs me a little more per month, but it's not breaking my bank, so it doesn't bother me.
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Lol Sorry, I wasn't referring to your posts (we just both happened to use car references). :P
[Droid X General] cstrife999:
Yea but honestly if your pc isn't super holy **** beast mode it isn't going to be that noticeable. I have a nice higher-end PC and it isn't that bad on my bill.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] passion8059:
Hi firstly I Hope i've posted in the correct section. :confused:

I'm trying to find a way of resolving the annoying SOD issue.

I have updated the radio, ensured correct version of HSPL is installed got upto date MAGLDR but still suffer SOD on call screen.

Sometimes USB cable resolves it but very rarely.

Have tried numerous NAND ROMs but still to no avail and now I am totally stumped!!!!

Any one shed any light on this please?

Thank You:D :D
[Milestone 2 General] theonekid:
Hey guys,

Im so sorry if this post has a duplicate somewhere. I searched this forum for anything about this topic, but I couldn't find a solution.

So I just purchased a received my Motorola Milestone 2. It doesn't have the Verizon logo, it is the international version.

My problem is I am on the tmobile network and I can't get the 3G network to show. My phone only picks up the edge network. I know that the milestone 2 supports the 1900/2100 band and according to tmobile, the broadcast their 3G on the 1700/2100 band.

y question is can the milestone 2 receive the tmobile 3G band and if not, is there a driod phone that can. I like the phones that have the slide out qwerty keyboard.

Thank you 4 ur replies
[Milestone 2 General] mandrsn1:
There is not a version of the Milestone that works on T-Mobile's 3G.

TMobile uses the AWS band, it requires 2100 for the downlink and 1700 for the uplink. A phone that supports "2100" will not work. It must specifically support AWS.
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
I can't seem to get bluetooth to enable on my Nook. I've tried using CyanogenMod 7 nightly and the CynogenMod-7.0.0-encore as well. No luck. I've tried turning off wireless hard rebooting, fixed permissions ect... When I click the bluetooth icon it blinks and within a quarter of a second it turns off. It doesn't even have an icon that says it's trying to turn it on. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
tons of threads about that - just go to ROM Manager, click Fix Permissions then after that is done and you see a popup asking you to reboot, don't select this, rather press the power switch down until the nook powers off, then turn it back on again
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
If you would of read, I have already tried it. It didn't work.
[Nook Color General] ctweber:
I have the same exact issue as the OP.

Tried all the recommended fixes including fixing permissions.

Tried one additional step I found mentioned somewhere.

Go into spare parts uncheck compatibility mode and reboot.

Apparently this worked for some but not me.

Hoping someone with same problem can ping in with what might have worked for them.
[Nook Color General] Azamatka:
Please guys try this.

Firstly, you switch off you wifi.

Secondly, you reboot.

Thirdly, you switch on your bluetooth and get it running. (it seems the bluetooth would not start after Wifi)
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
Sadly It still isn't working. I've already tried the hard boot with wireless off and quickly starting up the bluetooth as soon as my nook is started. Any other suggestions?

Edit: Do you guys think it just might not work/ dead?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
This. Always works for me. As he said, turn off wifi entirely, POWER DOWN. Boot back up, turn on Bluetooth. Once it's up, turn on Wifi.
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
Nope didn't work if you read my posts... When I find my camera I'll try to post a video of what it does to "try" to enable bluetooth.
[Nook Color General] brento1:
Thanks got it working. I was wondering why it would shut down after clicking turn on. But now if it says paired but not connected does that mean my holux GPS isn't going to work with the nook?
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
had the same behaviour until tried this:

1 turn off wireless

2 fixed permisions with rom manager

3 turned off nook, by pressing power button

4 restarted nook

5 turned on bluetooth

after this, i could freely turn on/off wifi and bluetooth without complaining

btw, i'm on CM7 stable running on verygreen SD card with 04/04 dal's kernel
[Nook Color General] derekr:
@brento1

You have to use an app such as GPS Provider to connect your GPS to android. Otherwise you will get that error.

This worked for me.
[Nook Color General] erickleung:
Yes above steps works for me too.
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
That didn't work... But I figured it out! I was running on Dal's OC kernel and for some reason it was clashing BT! Thanks everyone for trying!
[Nook Color General] ctweber:
So I've tried everything suggested multiple time with and does not work.

Thanks for discoverying the OC kernel connection. I am also running it. I will try to install a fresh nightly without OC tonight.

Are any of you with working BT also using the OC kernel?
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
As of this moment, I'm not going to install an OC kernel because I'm afraid I won't be able to get BT to work. Can anyone recommend one?
[Nook Color General] poppscc:
I have phiremod 6, with the OC kernal and it works, but initially, I had the problem.

Shut down the nook and start it up again. NOTE, Do not do a reboot, do a shut down!

Hope it works for you.
[Nook Color General] Code124Y:
i think i have the same problem that I'm using the OC kernel, do anyone have a suggested kernel to intro?

thanks in advance..

I just downloaded TV Shows Stream and it is a Honeycomb optimized app that works great. It holds a database of current and past TV shows and connects you to their location flawlessly, with a few options for playback. It is 5.99 but worth if if you want a large selection of video entertainment on the go. I have the WiFi Xoom wirelessly tethered to my phone. It also looks and works great on my Droid Incredible.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fsunoles157:
Yes I love it. Dowload moboplayer and when watching click external player and click mobo. Pretty awesome. You might have to go in mobo settings and click soft decoder for some shows

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitr00:
Dude let me try and help you.

1) download a known good rom like one thats close to stock

2) go into cwm > mounts and storage > mount sdcard usb > and copy the *.zip to the root of your sdcard

3) unmount by going back to main cwm menu

4) now wipe data/factory reset

5) now wipe cache

6) go into mounts and storage and do format system, then go back to main menu

7) now go to advanced and clear dalvik cache, then go back to main menu

8) now install zip from sdcard and choose the downloaded *.zip which you placed into the root of your sdcard and start flashing.

9) after flash finished, reboot your device and wait for at least 10 minutes

This way I fixed my gf's desire z
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flyingpilot:
when i mount the sd card, it wont show up on the pc. I can use a reader to put the files on the sd card though.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
You didnt mess up all the way until your phone doesnt turn on at all. Dont give up you are just a few steps from a fixed phone. I would take a moment to make sure you have adb setup on your pc correctly. Maybe even try connecting someone elses g2 if you can. Phones are a lot easier to fix after you spend a littlle time with adb.

you s off so pretty good from there what you can is flash recovery through fastboot again to make sure it went through good, and aswell format sdcard aswell once you done those put freshly new rom in sdcard along with gapps then reboot into recovry and try to do that

Completely wiping everything now.

I did:

1) wipe everything (system, cache)

2) formatted my SD card Fat 32( did quick format)

When I tried to install the rom

Cyanogen mod 6.1.1 signed vision

assert failed: wire_raw_image("tmp/boot.img","boot")

it says E: error in /sdcard/ update-cm-6.1.1-vision-signed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Try doing the full format of the SD card instead of the quick format.

Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flyingpilot:
i really dont think that has much to do with it man, i mean i dont think its the sd card fault.

how ever i got to a new point now...it says i need eng hboot. i have the files and everything. i can adb it until the part where it says i need to use terminal emulator.

I cant use terminal emulator cause i cant get into my phone.

i need eng hboot because then i read that i can fastboot the clockworkmod recovery. when i do it now ( I HAVE FASTBOOT), the first part says ok then it gives me an error.

this is where i am stuck.

- My tmobile replacement is coming tomorrow. i went to the store and showed my phone to the lady and she said i need a replacement. SO!! should i send it in or keep trying? i mean i dont think tmobile can say anything about my phone being rooted becase the lady saw it and said it herself. let me know what i should do. i dont know if i have more options.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] passion8059:
Don't think it is possible because HSDPA is virtually 3G too (3.5G).

Its a case of either have both or choose between 3G or GSM
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubbingt:
You will be on HSDPA when you have coverage. When you dont, your phone will fall back on 3g, and if you dont have that coverage, it will fall on 2g. Its made like this so you have continuous coverage. I doubt you can change what you want to use.

You can get the correct connector off ebay,or wilson electronics I believe. It was only about 5 bucks then connect it to a portable cell ant. Or do like I did and buy a yagi ant and mount it outside.

I live in a rural area and I went from 1 bar to full signal inside which made my tethering much more robust.

Just gently pop off the rubber piece and you will see the port.
