[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
If im not mistaken this exact arguement happened rather heatedly a few months back on this forum. That said Brick'd makes very valid arguments.

It is my opinion that for those who wish to be developers and use other's tweaks to talk to the originator of that tweak if they are still around to try and understand the thought process that went into it. Then once you understand the workings of that tweak rebuild it from scratch with your own tweaks/changes then you become a developer.

Generally speaking if all the work you do just happens in the framework folders and only requires some small smali and xml changes to change the color of text and change images you are a themer. If instead you are doing alot of work elswhere in the system folder (and i dont mean /system/app) you may call yourself a dev but if and only if you understand what you are doing. If you use someones tweaks, understand them first so you can build your own that are better. If you can't build your own tweaks for the love of all that you hold dear please give credit where it is due.

Cheers

[Droid Eris General] bbrabham:
While in my pocket my Ginger Tazz v19 (and v16 v17) kept going into a bootloop. I could not figure out why, and was never able to duplicate the issues while I was looking at it; although I suspected it was either custom ringtones, exchange syncing issues, or over-clocked to much for my poor little Eris (729 using Set CPU, but with advanced setting to battery bias). SO! I wiped (and wiped and wiped and wiped), waited for everything to sync, set the CM gov to 729, and sure enough, booted in my pocket again- repeat the wipe flash reinstall, left it alone, stable for 24 hours, noticed battery life was not ideal, but had no boot in pocket issues. Reinstalled SETcpu, went a little more conservative in my profiles and main profiles, and I've been stable for 2 days now- but I haven't set any custom ringtones yet either; oh and I did have an issues after using SongBird (uninstalled). I can't post on the DEV. forum, just wanted to give my .02 for anyone who LOVE GINGERTAZZ as much as I do, and can't seem to figure out why it's not running like it seems to for 75% of the posters......

Thanks again TAZZ! Hope you're feeling better BTW!

Im really fraustrated right now.....I really hope you guys can help me with this.

First of all.....I had EC01 rom and was working fine so I tried to go to ED01 by using ADRY's instructions. After flashing to DL09 I rebooted then I was trying to flash the EA28 from CWM but When I tried to go to red CWM it did not work!!!!

So I was kinda nervous and reboot the phone and connect the usb but it did not do anything when I plug the usb......I dont know what to do now.....plz help me...

I tried use odin...couldnt do it cuz USB not work and CWM to flash others but dont work....
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrol:
I could be totally wrong but if you can boot up with your flashed DL09 you can OTA to ED01. Thats what I was planning on doing..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
I don't know if you are new to this or what, so please forgive me if this seems condescending. But, you do have USB debugging checked under setting>applications>development right?

[EVO 4G General] r2DoesInc:
I do the OMFGB and OMGB roms. We currently support the Evo, Inc, and Eris. Nobody on the team has an Evo though, so things are getting pretty difficult. Im considering dropping support for the Evo because working on these invisible bugs is holding up development for the other phones.

If you have experience with AOSP, and i dont mean just building CM, I mean really working with it, and have an Evo, hit me up. We are in desperate need of an Evo dev.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
i have started flashing rom on my desire recently... so far i flashed cm7 and now miui... i have rooted using unrevoked and installed clockworkmod recovery.... each time i flash, i do a backup using clockworkmod... my question... if i get a problem with something during flash or if i mess up with someting that bricks my desire... will i be able to recover using my backups with clockworkmod recovery?

i mean do i need to take additional steps to ensure that i can always recover from a brick? e.g. on psp, there is pandora battery that can recover a brick.. on the wii, you can also recover from a brick using a nand backup.. is there similar thing on desire? is it the clockworkmod recovery...

i will probably flash back to stock rom soon(btw can i use the backup i made with clockworkmod to get back to stock rom?) and i want to be on the safe side so that i can recover from any failure whatsoever.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
No, if you brick your desire it's end of story. However lot of people confuse bricks with other boot issues. It's pretty hard to properly brick a device if you understand what you are doing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
yup how can i brick my device? through installing custom rom? power failure? install radio?

what is the goldcard thing? i have unlocked phone, do i need to create a goldcard? when following the unrevoked root tuto, there was no mention about the goldcard thing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Shouldn't need a goldcard when unbranded, however I belief that there are some reports of unbranded phones needing goldcards for the newer ruu's. You can always make one just to be sure.

Flashing roms won't brick your device unless some really strange stuff happens. Don't know what that would have to be though.

A bad radio install will brick your phone. Either if the zip is corrupted or if you lose power during flashing. When altering the bootloader (s-offing or flashing new hboot) power failure will also brick your phone, so will corrupted files. I thought there was a third way to brick your phone but can't think if it right now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
It's hit and miss with the gold card. I needed one, and it's unbranded. Go figgure. As the above poster said, better to make on, and save a future headache.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
thx! so i continue flashing custom rom :) .. i have already installed latest radio so don't think i will flash radio or modify bootloader at least for a while now

edit: can i make a golcard if i am on a custom rom and have already rooted my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
Goldcard is not related to your phone.. it is related with your memory card.. and you can make it with any working android phone... and use in any android phone.. as it is the way to by pass the customer id check.

You can go here to make goldcard http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

If you are not good with adb part... just search for Goldcard Helper in market and . that app will give you your reverse CID so than you can follow from step 7 from above guide.

Hope that help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
can i use the sd card i am using to store my data and data2ext parition? or i need a seperate empty card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
NO .. a goldcard should be a single fat32 partition .. thought formating doesnt remove ur goldcard as it is your sector zero.. but too being safe side.. dont use the goldcard sd card. My suggestion take any 1 gb or even 512mb if available sd card and make it as a goldcard and keep it somewhere safe

To root you G1, you should not need the SIM card. But to get past the GMAIL registration the phone required it.

You do have a SIM card, right? Just pop that in there while you are doing it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Hi BA,

I do have sim card for it (my existing rogers sim card on my existing htc dream).

But I cannot get past the gmail setup wizard on this tmobile G1. It keeps failing to connect to a gmail server, and it doesn't ask me for a wireless setup.

Can't I do this through the command line, or droid explorer?

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Thanks BA,

Yeah its that one. Was working fine with sim card out of the box, but a did a reset because previous owner left all his personal stuff on it.

If I knew this was going to happen, I would of never reset it, just did it from the previous setup.

It is unlocked, but it wasn't rooted, it is factory donut (1.6) android.

It is a tmobile g1 I am trying to work on rogers, to replace my current htc dream.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Then, you'll have to downgrade it to RC7 (I think for you), then root it. After that flash the ROM that you wants.

Once that is all done, you can skip the registration process for GAPPS.

Make sure you read and be familize and understand every steps before you start. Because you do not want to brick your new G1.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Not sure why this is or if this is true with other phones or just the G2X BUT...

If you connect to an WiFi AP that is 802.11G instead of 802.11G/N or just 802.11N your battery life will drastically improve.

I have a Wifi AP with 802.11G/N and was using it all this time. I decided to switch it to G only and wow, the battery drains a lot less than when on N.

Seems odd but it is what it is. Not sure if this has anything to do with reboots (most of mine have been on WiFi) but will report back if I still see reboots while on Wifi now that I'm on G.

Try it out and post your experiences.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dj75728:
What I've tried is setting the Wi-Fi to never turn off and it's saved a lot of battery when sleeping. I heard somewhere that letting the Wi-Fi turn off while the phone was sleeping causes it to go back to 4G/3G to push notifications/refresh data and that takes much more battery than if the phone had just been on Wi-Fi to begin with. Only lost 3% in an hour.

Setting > Wireless and Networks > Wi-Fi Settings > Menu Button > Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi Sleep Policy > Change to Never. I know it sounds weird, but try it out yourself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Already have that set. Use Never on all my Android phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DanteGR:
Although I use a Desire HD I have had massive problems since the beginning when wifi was on.

Since then I have read countless hours and have tried almost everything I read but to no avail.

I also tried changing the router settings from 802.11 b/g auto to 802.11 G only and that worked for a day or two giving me good batt life but then the drain came back again...

I am almost sure that the router is the prblem but until now I have not found a definitive solution to this...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPhilo:
There's a chance of me purchasing an Atrix 4G and would like to ask some question beforehand.

1) Why do people say not suitable for Bell device on ROM? Is this the worldwide version? And not AT ver.?

2) How smooth is the screen, I mean when swiping, since I came from a iPhone 4 to HTC HD2 and I didn't like the screen as much.

3) Framerates in games? Any much difference compared to LG 2X (Seem some benchmark like 10fps-15fps average lost etc)

4) Does every or most games work? I mean support the resolution?

5) How would the quality be in 1080p in the future update since its a 5MP camera?

6) How many RAM in bootup? 750ish?

7) Battery life? Heavy & Average

8) I've heard the Atrix can get quite hot like the 1st gen snapdragon? Or is it the battery?

Regards, I'm sure a few have already asked this or looking for the same answers.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
1) Why do people say not suitable for Bell device on ROM? Is this the worldwide version? And not AT ver.?

Ans: ATnT version released first and got i think two updates (mostly bugs fixed) and due to this reason developers started working on ATnT and developing it mostly, but as soon as Global Generic version will release bye bye ATnT.

P.S:Root is available for all devices (bell and ATnT.

2) How smooth is the screen, I mean when swiping, since I came from a iPhone 4 to HTC HD2 and I didn't like the screen as much.

Ans:After a fresh reboot choppy for 5 min max after that no lag at all.

3) Framerates in games? Any much difference compared to LG 2X (Seem some benchmark like 10fps-15fps average lost etc)

Ans:Most of the games are now optimized for Tergra2 so no more FPS problems.

4) Does every or most games work? I mean support the resolution?

Ans:Yeah.

5) How would the quality be in 1080p in the future update since its a 5MP camera?

Ans:I think 1080p recording will be ok. after all it is a mobile phone what u expect a 60fps video ???

6) How many RAM in bootup? 750ish?

Ans:With the help of Android System Information i am able to check that 818mb of ram is showed (must be reserved by GPU and DOC ****) and out of 818 570mb ram is available for user and after usage of 2-3 days i am still having 400+ available ram for usage and no slowing down or lag any ware ever.

7) Battery life? Heavy & Average

Ans:My friend play lots of Fruit ninja on my mobile (1-2 hours straight) and that wont even budge battery. And i use internet via Wifi quite a lot. so Heavy usage 1 day and if u use aveerage (sms calls and email then 1.5-2 days max)

8) I've heard the Atrix can get quite hot like the 1st gen snapdragon? Or is it the battery?

Ans:1Ghz Dual core phone (processor with 6-8 cores {audio,GPU.etc}) little hotness is there not burning hand and stuff.

P.S:heavy usage can even make iPhone warm (personal experience).

Hope this answers ur concerns.

Had the phone on day 1, hour 1 the 20th and have had not 1 odd issue. Everyone here seems to hate their device, I'm coming from a vibrant which was cool too but this is way better....

How come y'all having so many issues and I haven't had 1... Anyone else have no issues like me?

I love this phone and its perfect for me.....

[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
I've had one reboot, but 2-1/2 days since then without any problems. I was a bit concerned about battery life for the first couple of days, but I've been off-charger for about 7 hours now with light usage and the battery is still at 83%, which is fine. Otherwise, no problems other than minor software issues (kinetic scrolling parameters, Qik has a version incompatibility with iPhone, I can't add applications to Car Home).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokyomonster:
This tends to happen a lot. The people who are happy are content and don't usually post about it. Conversely, those who have issues, or think they have issues, end up posting about them, so you basically just end up with a bunch of negative discussions.

This is my 4th Android phone (G1, Nexus One, Epic 4G, and now the G2X), and by far the best one I've ever owned, ever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Maris_:
I've had mine since the 20th and so far have had no problems at all. I activated it in the store and had a slight concern when it seemed to freeze up for a few minutes after it asked about synching my apps. However, I waited a few minutes and apparently it was indexing everything, because once it came back to normal I checked my apps and everything was there. Both the T-Mo rep and I were surprised to see all the apps back as well as my contacts, emails, and texts. Gotta love that Google cloud!

My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is that I can't tell which end is up when I pick it up. I came from a Nexus One and that trackball was a huge clue for where the top of the phone was. This phone is so dark with its new black gel case that I usually pick it up upside down and struggle to find the power button. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. Glad to see all my apps working with no hiccups, and I was fortunate not to get one with any screen bleed or unexpected restarts. Hope this keeps up.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
One day 1, I had a couple random reboots. Days 2 and 3 have so far been completely error free. I have very little LCD bleed, only a tiny bit in the top corners that I can barely notice. Standby battery life has improved immensely as well. Down to 3-4% battery per hour which is very good on a stock ROM/kernel.

I'm totally satisfied.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I really like the phone and am keeping it but there's no question it has issues. Everyone uses their phone differently which is why we are having different experiences. I rely on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth heavily and LG's implementation of both is quirky causing erratic behavior. T-Mobile really screwed up the data management settings with their My Account app allowing the phone to use native data when set to Wi-Fi only. You're experiencing that whether you realize it or not.

I was in a T-Mobile store and they allowed me to play around with the configuration of their demo unit. I could replicate almost all the strangeness I experienced on my phone. Someone who uses the phone differently may never see the issues I'm having. Either software updates from LG or a replacement ROM will cure most of the problems that have been posted so in the end the phone will still be a good choice.

Small screen bleed that doesn't bother me. I can only see it when screen is all black. Everything else is working great. Came from a Vibrant with GPS problem and lag. This has even better battery life for me. I had to use JuiceDefender to get same battery life as this w/o it. Loving the ability of HDMI mirroring, able to play Amazon Instant Video w/o any struggle and of course Tegra 2 games. HDMI has no limit on anything that you can't output to TV that I know of.
