[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihalol:
Hello,

I was trying to flash several roms alla day w/o luck. Almost always I had problems with the screen, I should press 2mm below a key or an icon in order to select it.

Anyway, I came across this thread and tried to flash this rom that is described in the post, with fastboot, not odin (somehow i couldn't get it to work).

After installing it I rebooted the phone and got this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jif-7fzJe4

I dont have to press and hold in order to open the phone, just touch the power buton and it's on. In addition I can't get into Bootloader, that's why I ask for your help.

Any help of what may be wrong and what I can do to fix it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihalol:
I managed to enter modem mode , holdind up and down volume butons and power one. I flashed the stock rom with odin.

Now the screen continues to behave like in the video (above post) but if i turn it on, and call it I hear (on the calling phone) the busy tone like someone's talking..

hey guys!

i've an arc phone that i absolutely love...except one major detail that in the last days is driving me nuts.

I have alot of SMS/MMS with one contact in particular and a few hundred with other contacts. the thing is, in the last days the standard app for SMS was getting really really slow .. so unfortunately i had to start using handcent (why unfortunately? easy..i'm in portugal and handcent doesn't support some of our keys like "ç" or "é" "à" etc ... anyway i still started with handcent since the original program was really slow.

the thing is.. now handcent it's also getting slow.. and im running out of options.

i installed sms backup + but i had problems logging in to gmail (i enabled imap etc etc.. and i always get this error that i should allow access to gmail account, which i did) ... so.. what can i do now?

i can say that i have almost 7000sms/mms total on my arc right now... for you guys saying it's alot and i'm crazy .. c'mon on a .xml file it's not even 2mbytes.

I had an htc p3600 with wmobile 6.1 with over 25000sms and was fast everyday.

does anyone knows an official SEricsson support website?email?

how can i get support to this?

i would love to use the original sms app ... but ...its impossible accepting this slowiness

help?

my best regards,
[Xperia Arc General] CarbonX13:
Um... delete your old messages? I can't imagine an SMS program lagging your phone, unless you're getting thousands of messages and storing each and every one of them. Then the phone may have trouble trying to load all of them...
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Having 20000 smses? Good luck.
[Xperia Arc General] Inferis:
Same for me. Sms app is real slow. I thought it fist was Go Sms and uninstalled it. But the original app is also really slow.

Btw, I dont have so many sms. I believe it was getting slow when I recieved some mms.
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
Every sms-app gets slow/hangs when you recieve or send message in very short period :( It's annoying... I am using Go SMS pro now, but have Handcent & Chomp sms also

I know I should probably put this on the development portion but I can't post there cause this is my first post lol. I'm wondering is it normal for the screen to flash when pressing the Home button?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1gnone:
Ran into the same limitation when I softbricked during my first attempt to update a kernel [talon] as required prior to the update to v5r3.

Had to look here and comment if ever I am to be up to asking anything in the dev forum. ...but then perhaps my soft brick question is best addressed here, aside from the fact that I still have the issue..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japr2821:
Odin back to stock and start all over again. Make sure u fallow all the directions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitaroguy:
it has more feeling that everytime i hit the home key its reloading the home screen. instead of before where it would do nothing. I'm using touchwiz 4 maybe it is because of that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1gnone:
Indeed that is the understood objective, but getting into download mode is the impediment. I have tried a number of the advised buttons/odin/usb/battery sequences, each of them many times. All yielding only a return of the soft brick image. So now I am waiting for arrival of a shipped jig from MobileTechVideos..Still hopeful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
you might see that image if there is a problem with the location for the image for download mode. i spoke t one member that said they had the phone+computer image but odin saw the phone so they hit start and the download image poped up halfway through

i have also successfully flashed with odin with a completely black screen. phone looked like it was off but was really in download mode.
[Acer Iconia A500] Slowie911:
Good Evening from the uk

earlier on today a bunch of devs managed to actually root this tablet using a modified version of gingerbreak

below is the walkthrough of how to root this device

1. make sure usb debugging is turned on and unknown sources is selected

2. have a micro sd card inserted and turn the tablet on portrait and lock it with the switch to fix it in portrait

3. download and execute the attached apk. (i had to download from my comp and transfer to the tablet for it to work)

4. once the apk is installed run the root procedure within the app which was installed

5. wait and you will receive full root access

Edit to add original dev and thread

A BIG BIG thank you to monki-magic who provided the modified apk and the original thread is

[Acer Iconia A500] TXEvo:
Good luck with that, and the IPS on the transformer is not that great, kind of choppy for games. People are expecting an iPad2 style ips and it is NOT. The refresh rate is too low, the color is just a tad crisper then the Acer. Barely noticeable to the eye. Friend got his and sold it on ebay for the Acer, the USB was more important then the ips, and ips is great for graphic designers but gamers, not so much. Why do you think in every review people complained about choppy video... It because it is a cheap ips with a cheap refresh rate. Hence the price. Just my $0.02. Glad the Iconia got some love with their own section. It will be about June before you get one.

Heres what I'm mostly confused about... When playing a video, I have a tab as I'm sure the rest of you do as well, that says HDMI. what does that mean? is there a cable that is sold to where I can hook up my phone to my tv and stream videos? :confused:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianlp:
Go to the Dell website and your question will be answered. A Google search on Streak HDMI, would have gave you the answer, or search on XDA would have told you.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valest:
You need a hdmi converter to output hd video to you flat tv or pc screen,that converter is not included when you bought your phone,so you need to pay some extra money to get one.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
Does this HDMI, just output the screen? Or is it just video?

I dont mind paying. Just wondering how it worked and what quality video would be played etc...

[EVO 4G General] Raistlin1:
So I am not even a week into rooting my Evo and flashing roms and I am not sure what the best way to organize my backups are.

What do you guys do to manage all the nandroids and app backups in Titanium?

Here is my situation, I have my nandroids from right after rooting and a few from doing the two updates that CM7 had. I first did a nandroid or two using CWM, I then flashed recovery to Amon_Ra and did nandroids in their also. I also had all my apps backed up using TB post-root (sense) and now that I am on CM7 I have many different apps that I have added. I have read some people say not to backup apps from 2.2 on sense to CM7, though the few that I have done work fine.

Should I delete all the backups in TB from my stock 2.2 w sense? Can I rename my RA nandroid backup files so that I can label them better to know what they are? Or should I just move them to my computer and put them in a folder named what they are and leave the file name alone? Can I move the backup folder from TB onto my computer that has my sense backups to save for a rainy day?

I can see this getting very messy and confusing if I do not get a handle on all these backup files. Just wondering if someone has a good system for keeping track of these and when to get rid of nandroids and app backups.

Thanks!!!! :D
[EVO 4G General] emcp422:
i just created folders named clock and amon ra on my computer, and inside those folders i created folders with the names of the roms i flashed with each recovery and then i moved the nandroid files from my sd card into the computer folders that corresponded, and i only left my last working backup on my phone
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
- clear your TB and start fresh. i would advise against trying to criss cross your Sense/AOSP backups. it may work but i'd consider it a fluke not the rule.

- you cannot restore a RA nandroid with CWM nandroid and viseversa. so whichever one you think you'll stick with...you can get rid of the others.

- yes, you can rename the nandriod folder. no spaces. very handy once you get a few nandroids going.

- i use SyncToy from Microsoft to copy all the sdcard data onto my pc. this way i can protect my nandroids, pics, vids, mp3, misc crap.

i normally leave one or two nandriods on my device (i have had a bad nandroid in the past) and zip of the current rom.

as for the deletion policy..that depends on your level of paranoia and amount of available diskspace and time.
[EVO 4G General] Raistlin1:
Thanks, I like the idea of clearing out TB (I just did it) I was just worried removing the files would somehow mess up the TB app.

Sticking with Amon RA and I knew about not being able to use nandroids from different recoveries.

I will checkout synctoy, sounds cool, I already have three folders of my entire SD card that I made during my rooting process and changing recovery process. I hate it, I don't know what I need to keep from them.

Thanks for the input
[About XDA developers] scooter1979:
This happens when I'm reading in the Evo 4G Q&A forum. I'll read a topic/thread, then hit the back button on my browser (Opera 11.01), and a file download window will pop up, reading a different file name every time, but always from view.atdmt.com. I'm able to cancel it each time, but it happens nearly every time I try to "back out" of a thread. If I'm not mistaken (which I very well may be,) atdmt is related to ads? Maybe an ad not loading properly or something?

I've searched the forums, but didn't see anyone else with this problem. Like I said, I can cancel the DL, so I'm not too worried, but I was wondering if anyone has had this happen, and just thought the mods might want to know about it.

(By the by, my machine isn't infected with anything. I've run a full virus scan since it first started happening a couple of weeks back.)

Thanks, all.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
A quick Google search shows it's probably malware on your PC. Have you scanned your PC for malware using something like Malwarebytes?
[About XDA developers] scooter1979:
I've run all-out Norton 360 a few times, but I'm downloading & running Malwarebytes right now. I'll report back with results. Thanks for the suggestion.
[About XDA developers] scooter1979:
Well, I ran Malwarebytes, and it found one problem in the registry (which I had it fix). Rebooted, opened the forum back up, and for the first couple of threads, everything was fine, then boom, another file download. Only difference this time is it says it's from ad.doubleclick.net. Again, I can cancel it, so I'm not too worried. Guess it's something I'm going to have to live with.

Thanks again for the advice, anyway.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
These domains are safe but shouldn't be trying to download anything.

Does it affect you in another browser?
[About XDA developers] scooter1979:
After futzing with the forum in Firefox, I can't seem to recreate the problem. Must be Opera having the problem with something. I just thought it was kinda weird that it only happens in that particular forum.

Soooo, yeah. I'm too much of an Opera junkie to flip around browsers when I want to read that, so it's something I'm going to have to deal with. Maybe it'll be fixed the next time Opera does a little update (fingers crossed).

Just remember guys. You can never take a cellphone carrier or product maker for their word. Nothing is ever what they say. Remember that white iPhone announced June 2010? It just came out 10 months later. Even companies like Apple who very rarely break big promises for upgrades or releases do this.

The sad thing is they tried to justify the $800 price of the 3G Xoom by saying it would be upgradeable to 4G. If they're going to charge more, you'd think that there would be more of a firm date on this. That's whats most troubling about all of this.

Remember, it hasn't happened till you've officially been given the upgrade.

[Xoom General] keitht:
Obviously, at least to me, that there are some bugs to work out. I would rather wait longer than have a crappy 4G experience. And I hope better battery life using 4G. From what I have read in reviews, you can hear the battery juice being sucked out when using it.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
IDK for sure but as far as I know it dropped 3G for non-4G enabled phones as well. People reported being dropped to 1x from their 3G phones.

But it does seem that Verizon is sheepish about 4G since their huge outage. I heard many stores even stopped selling Thunderbolts while the 4G was out (for obvious reasons). I doubt Verizon is jumping at the opportunity to release more 4G devices to their network to start taxing it. They ain't gonna update the Xoom or release more 4G devices till they're good and ready.

I agree, my Xoom works fine. I would like the SDCard working, but I'm not going to cry and complain that it's not out.
[Xoom General] inrelief:
Not true -- if Honeycomb was stable:

Google would have released the source code

My browser wouldn't randomly crash and/or lag

Widgets wouldn't spuriously freeze

The SD Card would work (and no mentioning Tiamat, I'm talking about stock here)

In no way do these items disqualify the Xoom from being good, but let's not kid ourselves -- there is a fair amount of work left to be done to mature the Xoom user experience.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Google didn't release source but multiple devices are coming, honeycomb is stable.

My browser lags and crashes on flash sites, pretty sure adobe has something to do with this, also random crashes doesn't mean its not stable unless its actually unusable. MANY apps fc alot on regular android. Saying the browser can be tweaked doesn't mean honeycomb is unstable.

once again no SD doesn't mean unstable, not even going to go there with you on the SD. IPad doesn't even have SD card so is it unstable? Honeycomb is unstable because your 4g doesn't work also, lmfao
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Exactly.

Frankly, once LTE is available, I'm waiting for all of you to let me know how bad it sucks or doesn't suck. I'm happy with my battery as it is, and I prefer battery performance to faster download speeds.

So I'm not crying about this at all.

I bet Verizon is starting to get upset by Motorola's constant delays though, given both this and yesterday's "update", which appeared to surprise Verizon just as much as the rest of us.
