[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Handshake87:
Ya 1.4.0 is very stable... it is a developer kernel so it will of course have SOME bugs. For the most part the Tiamat kernels are stable... its the added features and tweaks the actual devs do to it which give you bugs and crashings
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Just a little concerned about some people with WiFi issues with 1.4 and since mine is the WiFi version I would really like to not dork it up.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I don't think this is correct. The Tiamat kernel Did change the charging light. When it brought sdcard support from the Asus it also brought that. I believe this is how the Asus transformer works wth the charging light.

The only instability I have had is when unplugging Xoom from PC after disabling mass storage. It only happened the first time and hasn't since. Also, don't remove the sdcard while exploring it and swap it with a different one. Other than that this build is very fast and I will be sticking with it for its short life.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
You are correct, so versions of tiamat actually do make the light work while the device is turned on. :) Its actually just one line of code, 0 is off and 1 was on. Not sure why he changed it back though.

Whats up! We need 1.4.0 One click
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_am_the_one:
Kernal manager is oneclick
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarionCobretti:
so, i have flashed 1.4.0, verified that the kernel is in fact running. i wiped before the update to get rid of other issues i was having with some apps.

now, with 1.4.0 running, it appears that the external sdcard is not mounting while the system is booted. in recovery, it shows up as it should with all of the files. i have an /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 and i have an an external directory under /sdcard

ive tried with card in before boot and after. i can say that dmesg is in fact seeing the card being removed and pushed in; however it doesnt seem to 'automount' from vold.fstab properly, or something else is jacked.

that being said, i dont seem to have a /devices which is where these things are suppose to be mounting from, is it not?

/sys/devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1

should i add the prefix /sys to both the usbOTG and sdcard to fix this?

or is there something else that is missing? presumably i could also create a symbolic link /devices -> /sys/devices, or does the kernel chroot to /sys at some point so none of this is needed, and i am having a different problem?

thanks for the help,

~marion
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSjagman:
New poster here. I have a wifi xoom and just rooted it 3 days ago. Today I flashed the 1.4.0 and have not had any issues that I am aware. A 'external' folder was created and all the data I had on the \sdcard2 showed up on the 'external' folder.

With V1.3.0 the charge light was on with power on or off,

now it is only On when power is off ( I like better this way).

Also I transfered a file from the PC to the external folder and it showed up w/o having to reboot.

I just received a OTG USB cable and connect a thumb drive and got nothing. Is

there something else that has to be done for the xoom to become a USB host?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
Incorrect, at least in my case (and others I've read). I can confirm 100% that while running 1.3.2, the charging light (with tablet powered ON) did in fact light up while the unit was docked. It even changed from white to green while charging, as it should. HOWEVER, as soon as I flashed to 1.4.0, no more light while charging. Then I flashed back to 1.3.2, and presto, the charge light was back!

I have since flashed over to the p6 kernel (basically the cleaned up 1.4.0 of Tiamat) and now no more LED light again. Might be going back to 1.3.2 until this is reactivated in a future kernel update. :cool:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
I've somehow lost USB host capabilities after flashing one of the more recent versions of Tiamat (not sure if it was 1.3.2 or 1.4.0). I know it isn't my adapter, because of course it was working earlier on. Still waiting for someone to come up with an explanation or idea as to why this happened. Quite pi$$ed off about it :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbycardwell:
I have had my xoom now for about 2 months. Rooted it and now am running Tiamat 1.4.0. I flashed straight from stock to 1.4. I ready somewhere I needed to flash 1.3.1 first but that is not what I read from the install instructions. Have had NO issues as far as stability and speed. SDCard seems to access just fine and SetCPU seems to work great. Have been running at 1200Mhz for over a month without any issues.

Only one issue I am seeing, NO USB HOST. I followed all the instructions and everything should be working. I purchased item number 260771330672 from ebay per recommendation. USB drive flashes a few times but no data access. I am using a PNY 16GB flash drive, formatted to FAT32. Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williz:
Hello, have been using the Revolution rom since I got my DHD but have been having major issues sending MMS messages. I just get a generic Service Failure error message after multiple attempts at sending. Even when trying to send myself an MMS message.

I'm on T-Mobile UK / Orange

I have made sure that:

WIFI is off

GSM only

I am connected to T-Mobile rather than T-Mobile Orange

APN settings are correct

Still unable to send MMS messages, when I recieve them I get them sent to the web interface most Providers use. I have got picture messaging enabled on my T-Mobile phone plan.

Any ideas / help you guys can provide?

I am flashed to the latest Radio for Revolution and just flashed to the 3.6 rom aswell but still have the same issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Try GO SMS PRO (FREE) from the market. If it works ok, probably a problem with the stock app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
When you say you have just GSM avtive, does that mean you dont have an active data connection at all, if so that could be your problem when you need data connection to be able to send and recieve MMS
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
It should revert to edge or gprs.

[HTC Inspire 4G] atticusmas:
sup ppls i have a problem. i downloaded coredroid to try it out before i had a CM7 build. but when i installed coredroid it was stuck at boot and then i said whatev ill just put it into clockworkmod, but when i hold the power and volume up it just vibrated three times and the light flashed. HELP
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
You have to press power and volume down, not up
[HTC Inspire 4G] sugardaddy1979:
Might need to power down. Pull battery,then press power and volume down
[HTC Inspire 4G] pakxelaos:
:D:D LOL, that was happenning to me recently (sometime yasterday). I thought that was it, the end of my Inspire, and I did VOL UP+POWER , I even trying to hook up to pc and redo the rooting, wouldn't work at on. Then google is my best friend :), VOL DOWN+POWER got me back to Recovery mode, I will remember for the rest of my Android phone's life :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] atticusmas:
that takes me into regular recovery not clockworkmod
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Do you see an option that says Recovery after you get into hboot?

Sent from my calculator
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
Also, make sure you don't have a PD98IMG file on the root of your SD card or it will always try to install that and not let you select recovery from the options. ( this happened to me multiple times before I realized what was going on.)
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
Hi

I have ben looking to buy the lg 2x optimus for a while. Reports of isues, the phone not working proberly, battery, bluetooth isues and so on, have ben holdning me off. And i have infact started to look for other phones, then i saw that cyanogenmod are adding support for this phone, and its getting pretty close. So i was wondering, will these isues that people are having, be resolved in cyanogenmod?

The reason i am looking for the optimus 2x, is because its only a 4", i think 4.3" is a bit to big, also if cyanogenmod is coming, and all the "isues" are solved with the phone i really thing this could be a nice phone that should be able to run icecream pretty good aswell, so it wont be outdated in ½ year.

oh, also its on sale atm.. should i strike or wait?
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
I think most of the issues are software issues and are getting fixed piece by piece. The real hardware issue, you sent the phone for warrenty.....

So I would go for the O2X. I have it since day one, and only Issue I had since then that the phone powerd off like 3 times. 3 Times in 2/3 months is ok for me :P Since the update it hasn't powerd itself off yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
tnx for your fast reply, i was hoping for something like that. How is it for daily use? i guess the phone is ok, once you get all that lg crapware off the phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
I was a HTC user. Almost all the smarthphones i've owned were from HTC.

All the HTC phones I've rooted. Not cause of custom roms or whatever.

Just some setting changes etc...

The O2X I havn't rooted yet. Why? Cause it works as it should work.

On the first stock rom I could get 1.5/2 days out of the battery. And even got 4 days (disabled internet). And now with the new rom I get one day. So that is also a software thing. But still I don't see the need of rooting the phone.

The phone works very good out of the box.
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
i am comming from a htc desire, that is running cyanogenmod, and tbh i wouldent be able to live with anything else, than that or a clean android experience.
[LG Optimus 2x] kopchev:
For those, who are considering to buy O2X, my advice it to wait till gingerbread update is released. The phone is a promising one and I also think most of the problems described here, are software related. The UI is quite laggy sometimes, some people have reboot/battery drain/low incall quality etc. So w8 til gingerbread arrives.
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
it was my impresion that cyanogenmod was close, if so that would give it gingerbread?
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
He means the stock gingerbread. Not Cyanogenmod.
[LG Optimus 2x] raf2k:
I agree with you. Wait for Gingerbread. If this update will not resolve all the problems then its a ****y product.
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
tnx for the response, desided to wait it out and see.. TBH unless the cm version for it, is bad, or anything like that, i would probaly buy it. I dont plan on running a stock rom any way, i am considering it just because there is cm for it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
TBH it's a ****ty product for now and hopefully new firmwares will fix it; for now it's a strange and very picky device. I always think back to the days I just got my HTC Hero; that device only got "fixed" due to paul 'o brien and the cyanogenmod team otherwise i had been selling it a long time ago. Still got the hero though and recently flashed one of the latest oxygen roms on it and it actually amazed me how solid and fast it was; that is one of the beauties of these kind of phones; the communities behind it fixing things.
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
But as long the HW isent "bad" or there are isues with the hardware, i dont see why the phone wouldt be a good buy, as long you know, you need to root and mod it, in order to get a prober phone.

after all the tmobile version runs pretty good i am told, so its more or less software isues?
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
The stock android experience on the tmobile version still has some of the quirks we experience in the rest of the world, but even with the LG crapware software layer it can be an awesome phone but just don't treat it as a normal android phone; leave the LG crap in place and build on top of it or your phone will reboot/hang/go black (in my experience)
[LG Optimus 2x] StarF:
so just to be clear, if i remove all the lg crapware, the phone will run badly ?i thought it was the other way around.
[LG Optimus 2x] gk141054:
As things stand OP, I just wouldn't bother with this phone...

Had it nearly a month now.. fantastic hardware but the software sucks big time. Super slow and battery life sucks (probably due to software).

Thoughts of waiting for Gingerbread are all well, but LG managed to screw up the current software so well that I have complete faith that they will also screw up that too.

In a couple of months the Galaxy S2 will be out followed a bit later by the Atrix.. I dare say they won't be perfect but I don't think they can be as bad as LG's "effort"..

I really wish I had a HTC Desire, a 2 year old phone over my O2X...

Don't get me wrong, I love Android to pieces, but IMHO if Google can't sort out the mess that too many manufacturers are making of their OS by sticking their own crap on top and making it awful... it'll just push people towards Apple (who I hate). The man in the street just wants a phone that works and doesn't want to be messing around with custom roms etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] NL_B:
This phone needs a lot of work to make it useable. Out of the box, this phone was crap, battery died within 10 hours, hanged 2-3 times when charging and browsing and needed to take out the battery.

I have some spare time this weekend and finally tried the vanilla rom from paul. It works perfect! No lg crapware, just pure google.

I'm using opera for my browser, listen to music for 4-5 hours with poweramp, downloaded some apps, play samurai 2, and the battery finally died after 30 hours!
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
Hello,

I have been reading this forum in the past few days but I still can not decide what smartphone should I buy for my birthday which is in about 2 weeks.

To be honest I have never owned a smartphone before, so when I decided to get one recently, I thought it might be better start off with a medium category Samsung Galaxy Ace for about 135 EUR (discounted price as a loyal sub-er).

However, after some further readings I realised it might be better to get a premium category O2X for about 270 EUR (with the same discount), since it will not outdate as fast as SGA, so probably I can use it for 2-3 years while SGA has already lesser apps and its slower processor will be outdated relatively soon. I do not intend to buy any new phone for 2-3 years after I get one now.

Also as a newbie, I think it will take me some time to get familiar with android features so waiting for updates should not be an issue for me (having the freezes and Gingerbread in mind).

As it stands now, O2X seems to be a better investment for me for the long term, but as I have no experience wiht smartphones at all I would like to hear your opinion as well - thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
those here that can cope with the o2x know what we've been talking about. How does a fresh one fit in?

- need 2x day on a battery?

don't go near android (but it can be done)

- need an ios like expeience?

the o2x is a no go; you're better of with a high end htc phone

- cutting edge?

the o2x could be it; for now the nexus 1 and nexus S are a better choice

- UX

sense -> go htc! or maybe Sony/Eric

- the most powerfull phone

hey :) this could be it, for 4 months
[LG Optimus 2x] snoppekalle:
You should buy it, cuz it hasent locked bootloader and it very easy phone for the developers, so there will be very good roms, and btw. CM7 is on the way :=)
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
Thanks for feedback.

The problem is that my provider currently sells 3 types of HTC: Wildfire, Desire and Desire HD. HTC DHD would cost 430 EUR which seems too much for me, normal desire would cost nearly as much as O2X.

Also nexus phones are not avaliable at my provider and there are only 3 types of Xperias avaliable from S/E which I dont really like.

I am kinda bound to my current provider so I do not think I have too many possibilities..
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
IMHO, your first smart phone should be as stable as possible, so that you can learn the ropes properly. I would say get a stable Android phone for as cheap as possible. Use that for a short while, then move on to the dual cores later. IMHO, I don't think the LG 2x would be your best choice now.
[LG Optimus 2x] Crofteh:
Agreed. What you don't want with your first smartphone is to be faffing around with all the inner workings, trying to make the damn thing stable and actually work.

TechRadar recently did a guide on the top 20 best phones available, and I think it's a good starting point for you to choose from. I can't post a link as I'm a new member here, but go look it up. Incidentally, the Optimus 2x is number 8 on the list, but if anything I think that's mostly based on potential rather than current status.

Hi all. Noob here. First I want to thank all of you that are writing these amazing roms, apps and roots. Top notch.

I am running BAMF Remix 1.5 and love it! I have not had any issues with it at all. My question is this. I need to load Verizon Backup Assistant in order to recover all of my contacts that I backed up from my BB Storm. With this ROM the verizon backup assistant is no longer available. I would prefer to not have to go back to stock in order to recover these contacts, so is there any way to get the backup assistant without having to grenade BAMF, go to stock, recover contacts, then go back to BAMF?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide me.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLNV:
I saw all of those but assumed (shame on me) that since I was using the "REMIX" that it did not apply. So I guess it is safe to assume that it can be used on the "Remix" version.

I am surprised that a Verizon store transferred the contacts to a rooted phone?

At any rate, thank you both for your prompt responses.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
You might want to consider backing up your contacts to your Google account since most roms do not support backup assistant because it is... Crap. Then when you flash new roms and sign in your contacts will already be there and you don't have to worry about the extra crapware.
