[Thunderbolt General] Wardroid:
I had forgotten how annoying this feature was with a rooted INC, but now the VZW guy set this up on my new phone...We have google to back up our contacts, we don't need VZW doing it too, let alone daily....Can I turn this off?
[Thunderbolt General] feedhead:
Check in Menu > Settings > Account & sync
[Thunderbolt General] capflya:
You can always wipe the phone... then skip through the VZ backup at setup... If you're going to root you'll end up wiping anyways... I always skip through that because like you said... Google already backs up what I need so why do I need VZW doing it as well?
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
yeah, just skip thru the VZW backup assistant screen during initial setup. if you want to prevent it from running in the background, freeze it with titanium backup or bloat freezer
[Thunderbolt General] drumstikka:
you can also freeze it with titanium backup
[Thunderbolt General] what25:
As I read this, I also want to know if I can remove this backup assistant? Seems like a waste since Google already backs up your contacts to your gmail account.

On a related note, is this service from Verizon free?
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
Yeah it's free. And if you're rooted you can remove it. It's not even in Das BAMF which is nice. There is no use for it unless you're coming from a non-android phone and your contacts are saved with Verizon and you want to restore them. But after that you'd have no reason to use it.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
you can proly remove it without adverse effects, but i froze it just in case i needed it later. it's a good idea to freeze apps before uninstalling completely. that way you still have access to them if necessary, which is much quicker & easier than reflashing a rom

as far as i know, it is a free service. however, verizon is notorious for adding bogus charges to your monthly bill. so if you choose to use the service, keep an eye on your bill
[Thunderbolt General] WeaselWeaz:
It is free if you have an account on the VZW website, otherwise I think it's $2.99 a month.

[Thunderbolt General] Aerogriff:
Only perk I see to it is Google never backs all my contacts up. Don't know why, so I still use backup assistant.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
Make sure the drop arrow on the top when you add a contact is set to Google. It is set to phone by default. After you set it the contacts that are added with sync with Google. :)

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodvampire:
Hello,

I'm using the Blayo 0.7 ROM with data2ext enabled for some time now and I nerver had any problem till now.

Yesterday my phone shutdown and I had to take off the battery and then put it back in so the phone would start.

The phone started but I lost all my configuration (wallpaper...), i thought maybe data2ext disabled itself. So I tried to enable it with adb shell but the following message appeared:

"data2ext is already enabled but not active"

I checked the mounted partitions and /data is mounted on /dev/block/mtdblock5

Everything is fine with my SD card: the FAT32 partition is still working and I can mount the ext2 partition to a TEMP folder.

I tried to disable data2ext and enable it but it didn't solve the problem.

Do you have any idea how I could correct this ?

Thanks

(sorry if it's not clear but I'm french and my english could be better :p)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffmast3r:
theres a simple way to correct it: buy a new SD card :P

i have the same problem a few months ago... my phone crashes, all data lost. my phone doesnt read the card, my pc doesnt read the card.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodvampire:
The problem is that my card seam to be OK.

I still have access to the SDcard on the phone and on my computer.

The only thing is that the EXT2 partition is not mounted on /data.

But i can access that partition...
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffmast3r:
maybe wipe ur phone and try it again....?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaY0:
You should manually fsck that ext2 partition.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodvampire:
stiffmast3r => If I can do it another way, that'd be cool :)

BalY0 => fsck ? directly from the phone ?

is there a boot log file anywhere so I can see what is wrong ?

Thx for your answer anyway ;)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaY0:
Yeah directly. Just use e2fsck via adb shell or some term app. Google it if you don't know how to use it.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodvampire:
I found fsck.ext2 on your ROM. It corrected some Errors on the partition and now it WORKS !

Thank you man, you rock !

I will now backup my app and upgrade to B0.8.4 ;)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffmast3r:
nice....

well, im going to buy a new SD when i had that problem :D

jokin.......
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeonfox:
hello. I don't know exactly what you mean "use e2fsck via adb shell"... I'm new to android and I came across the same problem with goodvampire...

did you mean type e2fsck in adb shell? any options or arguments needed????
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaY0:
type "e2fsck --help" to find out which arguments you need. And of course google it.
[Xperia Play General] marvi0:
So was checking out task killer, "I know I know it's a very grey area. ". I set it to kill programs automatically when screen of. So I just assumed pressing the power button would actually do trick. However I noticed task killer wasn't actually killing anything as I had set it, so I then used spare parts and set the end behavior of the button to "sleep " and then task killer started working as I had set it. So my question is what does the sleep button do if you press it without spare parts.? Cause looking at my situation it definitely wasn't putting the phone to sleep as I assumed! It would.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dvigue:
campared to other cell phones, whats your take on the radio cell power for signal? best radio in your opinion with rom?

thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamrosz:
Running 26.08.03.07_M radio. seems to work better than the past radios that I have tried. Running MIUI ROM build 1.4.22. For some reason under clocking my phone has increased cell signal. CPU set @ 768MHz.

It is extremely hard to give an opinion on a radio regardless of Rom what might work for you might not work good for me. It really depends on your location.

Sent from my shotgun via the zombie apocalypse.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
As mudknot said, it depends. I have seen many people say they got a stronger signal with their captivate but I see the exact opposite.

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:

[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
Not that I am aware of. My service does get crappy if I go to high up a mountain though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
I'm on stock ROM and signal strength is comparable to what it was on the captivate..
[HTC Inspire 4G] americasteam:
My Inspire is much better than my Captivate here in KY. Running CoreDroid 5.4 and stock radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] -Kevlar-:
captivate was twice as good for cell signal, but i cant give up build quality. every HTC ive owned was weak with signal. my wife's BB 9000 has -65 dbm next to mine with -100 dbm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Compared to my previous phone (Tilt 1), the "data" reception of my Inspire absolutely sucks.

I don't know if AT&T is working on the towers out here, but my data reception comes in waves. First it works great, then absolutely nothing at all (even at 4 bars), then it goes back to working great 10 minutes later.

My signal is currently -111dBm (1 asu). Fun....
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
My Captivate has/had better signal compared to Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
I cant argue with my reception to much over all its not bad. I'm currently at -87 dbm 11 asu but i live right by a tower. Works well for what I do with it then again i don't depend on my phone for download speeds. That's what my Comcast is for.
[HTC Inspire 4G] -Kevlar-:
if you are near a tower, there is no reason your signal shouldnt be over -70 dbm
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
My Inspire signal is absolutely horrible. It constantly bounces between 1 bar H+, G, E, and no service. It's like it cannot make up it's mind. If I could lock it on E, I would have a steady 3 bars constantly. This is the 3rd Inspire I've had and they all do the same thing. I have an old Motorola KRZR and everywhere I go with it, I never lose service and the bars are almost always pegged. I know you cannot compare between bars because their all different but it's ridiculous that in spots that I have no service with the Inspire, the KRZR has no issue at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
The inspire has a **** radio. I spent a long time comparing it to other phones. I now have 2 inspires that I have used to check. Both inspires are always within 2_3 db's of each other and always much worse than ever other phones I have, treo, tilt, fuze, blackjack 1&2, aria, and an iPhone. I have flashed every radio/ril available for the inspire and while some are better than others it still doesn't help that much. I really think its the all metal body. Still a solid phone, but the cell signal sucks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Geeking...

Side by side data would be good information to have. Photos displaying headset y headset data, or better yet a vid, would be cool comparing your various handsets vs. the Inspire :-). Jus sayin....and yes I like free ice cream. I like geeking with my phone with Open Signal app, because it displays the signal strength, RSSI, and when it's working really good, maps the tower location and CID for the specific tower...I wish I could get my hands on a bunch of handsets I would perform the above data collection...
[HTC Inspire 4G] macnplay:
where in denver are you I am in the tech center and run -85 and up and never hit more than 3 mb down on the same radio as u
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
Right now, my phone has not moved at all basically all day and I have H+ 3 bars and -97dBm 8 asu lol....whereas 5 minutes ago I had NO service... haha this is ridiculous lol

EDIT: 2 minutes later, NO SERVICE again. Signal strength 0 HSDPA mode...

EDIT AGAIN: 3 minutes later, 3 bars of E service, -95dBm 9 asu, then it drops to 0 and no service again. This phone is Bi-Polar I think.

I may trade this Inspire for an iPhone4 like I had before the Inspire. I had NO issues with service/signal with the iPhone. This Inspire is a great device but fails miserably in the MOBILE PHONE department.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Variability

Network performance vs. individual handsets seems to be all over the place. As someone trained in signal to noise BS everyday for the job....if I had to make this better I'd be one stressed out Mofo...

I have gleaned some things geeking with my Open Signal App. Time of day is a huge deal, I assume due to network load. I get off work at 5AM. I get off work...wait for a tower about 900 meters away to lock in, and I hit 7-7.6 down with RSSI in the mid -teens. Sig pic is test of this tower it all there but I cut out the CID n stuff. But when I arrive at work at 4:30PM I'm lucky to get 4.5 down. Signal still good ...anyway talking radio reception and network performance and all that is shooting at a fast moving target. Variables galore...side by sides with different handsets at the same time would be good info to have for stuff like this. Just sayin. If I ever have the resources to have a bunch of handset in my possession at the same time I be glad to test them.

Splashtop Remote desktop is for Android

you can fully access and control your PC

origami provides a more usable touch screen friendly Environment

than using the windows native desktop appearance

so it looks more like a tablet desktop on my gtablet

the images above are how it looks on my android gtablet when connected to my windows Pc with splashtop

and i find it easier to use for my windows media library etc than trying to use the native windows desktop

WoW!

Thanks, Bubble2!

This is GREAT! I have been waiting for some time to play a game called Carcassonne on my gTablet. I have a PC version of the game, and now, thanks to your post, I am able to play it using Splashtop.

One question though. I have windows 7, but when I tried to install Origami, it said the install was not successful. So, I am using Splashtop without the benefit of Origami. Any suggestions? I will try to install Origami again.

Thanks for the info.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
Nice. I'm using LogMeIn Ignition to access my pc now but I like the looks of this. Thanks for pointing this out.

Okay, so I checked it out. The Origami Experience piece is what you install on your Windows PC to give it a tablet UI interface. The Spashtop is the actual Android remote access app. Combined you get an interesting experience, but it's not mandatory that you use both. You only need the Origami piece on your pc if you want to see a tablet UI after you've remoted into your Windows box.

All in all it's visually interesting and does let me stream media better than LogMeIn Ignition but that's not what I really use remoting for so for me this app is just okay.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devilock138:
I had the same issue, but I was able to install Origami v2.0

I am unable to post URLs, but search for Origami 2.0 download and you should be able to find it on Microsoft's site.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bubble2:
my first install did not work too(just remembered)

Origami did not appear in programs( taught i did something wrong)

so i installed again and then it appeared in programs

not sure why it needed two installs but it worked second time

when "Origami Now" is running in background but your on your normal desktop

i noticed a slide down tab(widget) at the top of desktop that lets you open Origami

so its nice shortcut too

just set that as an alarm, your phone will ring until picked up (unless you have voice-mail) you can even record your own message for when you pick up, not that you will need to do that, as you know exactly who is ringin and what they are saying lol.

[Fascinate General] durakbane:
Hello all!

I've noticed several people have had 3g signal drops lately. Not sure if it is related to the modem or not. I'm on ED01 (KangBang Rom), but have noticed others having the same problem with different modems. Anyway, I tried to run a logcat for the radio (see attached). I am hoping: (1) I did it right (2) someone will be able to help diagnose the problem.

Hopefully it is a Verizon issue and not a phone/modem problem....I don't really want to flash to the ec01 modem..because getting to ed01 was so much fun the first time!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: Restored a nandroid back up, flashed Evil Fascination, did the *228 option 1 & 2...no luck. Back on KangBang Rom.

UPDATE #2: Compared my phone with my wife's (ED01 stock)...it is definitely a problem with my phone. :(

UPDATE #3: Tried ec01 modem, otb 1.1. kernel, and evil fascination rom without success. Odin back to dl09, updating to full bloat ed01. See what happens.

***** IF YOU ARE HAVING 3G ISSUES, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Pull your battery and take note of the number next to 500V (build date)

2. Please post the following info:

a. Build date (mine is 10.08)

b. Modem version when problems started occuring (mine was ED01).

Some trouble shooting is occurring in IRC. Thanks

UPDATE #4: After chatting with our IRC experts (Adrynalyne and Imnuts specifically), it sounds like there are multiple issues going on.

1. Could be a (partially) corrupted vzw database which would explain why some people are impacted while others are not.

2. Definitely seems to be some network issues because other customers (with different phones) are complaining of slow network speeds and intermittent reliability.

My experience resulted in the following:

1. Two levels of vzw tech support (via phone calls). 2nd level required factory reset. (Tech support stated this was what an email said to do for those of us with 3g issues after upgrading to ed01)

2. Poor 3g signal/data exchange resulted in 2nd customer support call. They arranged for a replacement. Now it could have been the above network issue, but it could have been another problem. I don't know, but that is what has happened with me.

Hope this helps for some.

UPDATE #5 - Seems that a DMU Reset (or ESN swap) is helping most out.

3G Loss while in Dock

I am on the ED01 radio and I noticied that when I place the phone in the phone dock over night that 3G completly shuts down. I have to toggle airplane mode a few times for 3G to come back on. (Which I can tell cause my emails come flying in).
